Thanks very much to TJ for assisting me with late registration for this event. Work arrangements have changed and now my leave is approved for another week which will allow me to catch up with all my friends at Mansfield.
I have booked some relatively pricey accommodation, but the queen bed will be a nice reward after 1600+ kilometres. Just thinking that this will be my first IBA length ride since the Muster in 2018. Pretty poor form on my part. Life gets in the way of pleasure sometimes and the last year has been my lowest bike travel period in some time.
Late rego means that my proposed route will be submitted directly to the IBA as a post-ride document, but looks something like Newcastle - Narrabri-Gilgandra-Cobar-Griffith-Mansfield (1628 Google kms). Not sure what the roo count will be like on the Kidman way, but I'll get to find out I suppose
Looking forward to seeing all the crew who can make Mansfield.
