It appears that a "few" words regarding my first 50CC are in order.

Elwyn, my main sponsor for all my riding said to me before I left home on Thursday to head to Brooklyn.

"Your only getting one chance at this ride, so make it a good one"

I did.

 

[ACTCapo]

I did.

Perfectly put. Congratulations.

 

[ACTCapo]

I will mention Ox and Shane (ACT Capo) who were both at the start to cheers us on while they were in the middle of their individual SS1600's celebrating this milestone, much appreciated guys.

Thanks! I’m calling it a warm up for the 25th anniversary…

Glad you and LTP are home safe @Fatman, I was checking the updates in this thread + your location on the map whenever I could. Thanks again for helping put this epic ride together, I loved being part of it with everyone

For those who I may have caused to go slower than they prefer, I’ll work on fixing my fuel conservation issue

Letting everyone know I got home safe late yesterday afternoon. Then slept for over 13 hours! 9222km in 10 days home to home.

I was in Mt Isa for a day on Wednesday, then attempted an SS3000K Gold with a nested SS2000K, which I think I got both. Like the 50CC, it had its own unique challenges which I’ll report on separate to the 50CC.

Thanks to @Derrick for mentioning at dinner how a 10-min Power Nap helps reduce fatigue. I tried this successfully yesterday

Thanks for keeping an eye on us Sam after we stopped at Marla. Congrats on seeing the 50CC through and your SS3000K Gold and SS2000K.

I actually had fun watching the ride develop from an idea to coming through to seeing you all at the start and completing it.

Dont' stress about holding anyone up Sam, the trick to LD riding is to ride your plan and not someone elses. Plan your ride and ride your plan.

Yes those power naps can be really benificial can't they, a good tool to use when required. Good point Derrick.

Glad to see you home. Catch you around.

 

[Kimmie]

Glad to hear you're home safe and sound Sam.

Congrats on bagging all 3 rides.

I looking forward to reading all about them.......it was fun to watch you travel along.

I rode from Marla to Wilmington today and wow!!, roadkill central the whole way. So glad we didn't see that carnage the other night

Hi, I had created a Spotwalla trip and it seems to have all my data from the Spot I use. I do not have photos of docket/speedo (not smart enough yet) but I will upload start and finish dockets. How do I include that Spotwalla trip in my ride application?

Follow Rebecca's post above and include pdf copies of all fuel documents, a link to your spotwalla, witness forms for start and finish, copy of payment to paypal and your ride log.

Hey TJ, it's the "link to your spotwalla" that I'm asking for help with, hence the "How do I include that Spotwalla trip in my ride application?" question in my post

Thanks TJ, I'm doing all that but the link Spotwalla gives me doesn't work - this is it https://new.spotwalla.com/trip/bd41-31375f7a-653a/view - would you try it for me?

 

[tj189]

Yes that is working. Are you using Chrome by any chance?

 

[Spaz]

I'm using Edge, but if it's working for you that's all I need to know, I'll dig deeper my end to find my issue. Thanks for taking the time mate.

Hi Rebecca
I've not done a certification thru IBA Oz before, who do we send the payment to?

Just copy that address link in and it should be all ok.
Works on Chrome - just checked.
