Ride To Eat - FarRide #4

MOREE NSW - 5th May 2007

Official Finishers List

Pictures of FarRide #4

This will be of interest to those who like to take a "longer ride" with the ride being the focus not the coffee breaks. Most Ride to Eat FarRides will be planned at 1000k minimum days. This is not a group ride, there is no route to follow. Be at the Destination at the time stated and be able to complete 1000klm within a 24hr period. That is the purpose of FarRiders.

It is not of Iron Butt proportions (just yet) but its aimed at those who are after a good long days ride and to meet, although briefly, with fellow riders with the same mindset. The entry level IBA ride is called a SaddleSore 1600k which is 1600k under 24hrs IBA

The idea is that it be a minimum 500 klm ride to the food and drinks. 1000klm min for the day

As I am based on the Sunshine Coast Qld I have decided to center this one again on a distance from here.

Col and his team at Thomas Lee Motorcycles will once again put on coffee, tea and biscuits from 11-11.30am. We can either angle park out the front or on the wide grassy footpath on the corner.

I have called them and there is plenty of safe parking for the bikes which I felt was a minor problem with our last Moree FarRide. It is on the southern end of town and not walkable to the main shops. However they feel its suitable and Col Thomas recommended it.
