Thanks Ron. To save others doing a search, here are other links you might like to look at:

Someone mentioned a while back that bus drivers take a dim view of lane filtering. I note in the link that "not allowed past heavy vehicles and buses". That can be quite limiting if there is a suitable gap. Is that aspect policed?
I note in Olly's report that the Police took quite an interest in the event. I wonder if they might start to implement some sort of "fatigue inspection". The issue might be more prominent since 2017- I know the QLD Police have it as one of their "Fatal Five".

Everyone, Well this ride is well and truly on, for 26 March, starting 3am at the Hume Servo in Canberra.
1. We currently have nine riders - Ian, Martin, Phil, Derrick, Thommo, Glen, Ed, Jeff and Olaf. More are welcome. PLEASE send me your details to [email protected]. Riders on antique, strange bikes or Harleys are always welcome and some will attend.
2. RIDERS PLEASE send me via email 1) Your bike brand, model and colour, 2) your Rego 3) a photo of YOU in your ride clothes and beside your bike, so that the administrators can correctly identify you on each lap, to get your signature. This is mandatory to receive your IBA Certificate.
3. We have two administrators who are key - Bill and Sheryle. Please ask friends if they can help even for a few hours!? Last time, my son-in-law bought 5 massive pizzas at a key moment and saved many of us (unfortunately John and Sian are stuck in HK this time - she was the "None-Fat Controller" and did a great job.)
4. For those who are not aware, we will continue to use the original route (having discussed many other options such as Williamsdale) because it is approved by the IBA. The ride has been completed on two previous occasions.
5. We will ride clockwise please. Yes you could choose to go the other way, and three did last time. One got lost and two others were materially slower than the original direction.
6. Yes, we will pass 151 fixed speed cameras. Therefore it is a GOOD IDEA to ride the route in the daylight just once to familiarise yourself with the route. Who can remember all the missing signs at the first round-about due to a truck smash, that nearly had some of us in the grass!?
7. The police will know we are riding. They WILL set up a mobile speed van probably on Majura Parkway. Last time it was behind a sign near Fyshwick.
8. Bring a range of clothing. It will be getting cooler then, and may rain.
9. Using a SPOT unit or similar is a very good idea - the IBA is very strict on the rules and proof for this ride. Plus your form and receipts of course.
10. The route is as shown https://goo.gl/maps/3LVSjqnKPQSkVATR9

We have currently received 11 notices to ride from "all the usual suspects" - Welcome!
We have three admins, and will be looking for more, even for an hour if you can?
