We'll keep an eye out for you on the way past.

Ox you know the highs and lows of this ride first hand, watching you successfully complete your "Around the Big Paddock" lap back in 2017 was an inspiration to me. I hope a little of what I have learn from you over the years will help to put me in good place throughout this challenge.
Thanks Ox

Hey FM & LTP
Yes a big ride, but just take it from one fuel stop to the next.
For Big Dog riders like you both, I am sure you will execute the ride in a professional & well planned way.
Will be cheering you on from the kennel :)

NO Big Dogs here Philmor only a couple of "yapping" Poodles :eek: biting off a big mouthful and then having to chew like crazy in an attempt to swallow it. ;)
Looks like you can't sleep around midnight tomorrow, looking forward to seeing you at the start at the Officer petrol station.

Myself, Philmor, Joymor and Derrick will be at BP Officer Outbound around midnight tonight with nothing better to do. We might just wish Fatman and LTP all the best for their LAP. In fact Derrick and I will "escort" them to Trafalgar then wave goodbye. Derrick's planning on then heading North and returning home through Powelltown. Something about his own Icicle Ride now that the BMW Club isn't running their's. I'm home to a warm bed. Someone will post up photos I'm sure. Cheers.

Fatman and Lynne will be in bed now, but if they have a ride plan it to help us with intercepts.

Any of you at Officer have a pic of the plan?
Their Spotwalla showed them arriving at Eden at 6:04am, 17 mins ahead of schedule.
They will be mostly running on a 15 min stop strategy.

Over the next 36 hours their planned stops with ETA’s (AEST) are:
Sunday
10:20am Bomaderry (Nowra) Caltex
12:50pm Chatswood (Sydney) Caltex
5:20pm Kempsey South Puma
10:00pm Chinderah Caltex
followed by overnight rest break at Best Western Airport Motel, Tweed Heads.

Restart at 3am Monday then
4:25am Nudgee (Brisbane) Shell
7:10am Maryborough South Puma
and then Rockhampton, Mackay & Townsville before their ETA of
12:25am Tuesday at Cairns for a 5hr rest break.

Hope this helps with any possible intercept plans.

A few hardy souls with nothing better to do on a Saturday night gathered at the BP Officer to bid Fatman and LTP off on their Around the Big Paddock-Attempt. Nev, Derrick, Philmor, Joymor, Wingman, Freddo, myself and an ex neighbour. At 12.30 am. they were off with myself joining them till Trafalgar. All looking good at present, ahead of schedule as Philmor said. I'm sure they'd welcome intercepts.
