Updated completed FarRides east and west with finishers lists, well done riders.
Revised previous decision for number of FarRides per year to three (3) cost and time must be considered for all.
Rides for East will be early Feb, late May and late September. One of which will include an overnight option and a meet time of 4pm at the destination. For the East this will be Nambucca Heads in February each year, date to be set.
After discussions with Chris Dunne organiser of The Long Ride, of which two FarRiders attended, I have formed a bond between both groups and offered to support their ride as an ongoing ride listed for FarRiders. FarRiders has also contributed towards their online identity. The next one looks like being Sept 2008 and every second year after that, I will keep members informed.
