Yep, over-thinking it. 
I got a photo of the Dawn Service (Redcliffe, QLD) then a DBR from a nearby servo as a Start Docket, then a docket at or near each "Letter" (I needed fuel at Agnes Water, Nanango and near Applethorpe). I got an iced coffee at the Zillmere IGA and a finish docket at Carseldine Caltex.
All the dockets were photographed next to the ODO, with the ODO also written on the docket. To cap it off, I pinged the SPOT at each "Letter".

@hagar - had planned on doing the same with the newspaper (or two..) Yes, Zeerust School sign was the plan and I'll be running the SPOT. My custom message on the spot is "IBA Receipted Stop" which helps in the ride post-processing. Hoping to pick up photos are the war memorials for my Start point, and the other three stops.
As always, thanks for the feedback and comments.

After grabbing by 'C' location, I'll still have some kms to do to get home for my final DBR.

Best wishes to you and your mate for the Anzac day ride CJ. I always attend a local service with some family and friends. Either an RSL breakfast afterward or back home for bacon and eggs depending on the crowds. I should do this ride one day, but with a son serving in the Navy, the special nature of the day means more when I have time with the family. I hope you have good roads and fair weather for the effort!
Still on track for ride attempt tomorrow if I can get the Kids Bearings and brakes swapped out on their Gooseneck today first.
so when you say you configure SPOT to ping "IBA Receipted Stop" (pre defined message are free , yes good) but what number do you configure it to go to, your Wife, Boss, yourself maybe?
Also I can't get my track( trips) to appear in my Spotwalla, they are talking, I've done a Sync from Garmin app, the Earthmate, nothing trere are trips there from a year ago. humm
This is the part that is doing my head in.
Feeling KISS solution Biggles described is going to be the best way but I would like to get my SPOT and Spotwalla working.
Thank you
Hopey
Also is 1631K's too close?

1. Good luck (a) getting everything done, and (b) getting on the ride tomorrow.
2. Message got to wife and kids. But more importantly, goes into the map as a point.
3. I think trips and tracks are different (but don't ask me the difference as I'm still new to SpotWalla). I've had the same issue. A couple of things to check (in Trip Manager) for that particular Trip - 1. Check the dates and times are aligned with your data. 2. In Device Manager - make sure that you have activated the data feed (i.e. Active is ticked) done via
If you've got data in your TRIPS section, then you can create a Track from it (just did it). Again, check the dates align with your dataset.
Hope this helps. (this could well be a case of the blind leading the blind....)

Its one or the other not both,
1. Do a standard SS1600 (1610kms min) and enjoy the day riding.
2. Do the specific ANZAC Day ride which has rules as previously stated and must also be an SS1600 (1610kms min)
Hope this clarifies it for you. And yes allow some leeway on your distance so 1658kms is a good number.
