Ride To Eat - FarRide #5

COOROY QLD - 29th September 2007

Official Finishers List

Pictures of FarRide #5

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

I also recommend a few reads of the Archive of Wisdom and this excellent writeup on Fatigue

I have given this a huge amount of thought (two beers and a Bundy) and decided that you will all have to come to my home town this ride. I have a lot of big rides this year and rather than not having another FarRide because of my commitments I decided the only way I could do it was to have it here. Cooroy is 15mins inland from the Noosa River and only 20mins ride to Noosa Heads. Its a fabulous part of the country and I want you all to see it. I suggest a overnighter for those coming a long way and there are numerous places near Noosa and all over the Sunshine Coast. If staying overnight please read FAQ 8. Limited space is available in my yard if anyone wants to camp overnight, I live on an acre. I am more than happy to have a get together that evening as well if anyone is staying over, let me know in your email.

NOTE: Change to normal arrival times to help those further away.
