Wollongong starters

[David Reynolds]

Hi all Wollongong starters.  I suggested recently that we bring our start time forward to 3:45am from the pool.  Gives us more time for contingencies on the way and hopefully a chance to raid the café across the road from the station.

 

Thoughts?

I’m now committed…….. well at least to taking my bike for a plane ride.  All boxed up and ready to go!  

 

Latest forecast suggests we might avoid the rain for the Gong to MV leg and then wet for most of the day, clearing as we arrive in Canberra.

 

Praying for these wonderful drought breaking rains to fall all around us but not on us!

Cheers

David

I am ok with waiting until Thursday afternoon, the only people it would be a problem for potentially are those wanting to cancel accommodation.

Sorry, more from me.   From this afternoon’s emails it would appear that, for the B4B riders, the switchover to alternative transport options is doable and doesn’t mandate a COB Wednesday final call.  Seems to me it could be made as late as Thursday arvo. Yes?

I’m also keen to leave the call until as late as possible.  I’ve got non-refundable airline tix so I was thinking I might as well jump on the plane on Thursday and see what transpires.  If its cancelled I/we could do some local rides over the weekend (weather permitting of course J)

On behalf of Team Newing ... a couple of things .. 

 

- Our strong preference is NOT to cancel - however we agree that riding in the rain all day is a bad idea.

- We are keen not to make a call too soon - weather forecasts often change a few days out - therefore we are not keen to make a call until the last possible moment - ie Wednesday evening if that is the last moment for people to change their travel plans.

- IF the ride is cancelled we will still be driving to Canberra on Friday with room for 5 additional bikes (and an extra person at a push) - probably leave around midday or mid-morning. IF we get to Golbourn and the weather is reasonable, we will be riding into Canberra from there.

- PS. Chris is also planning to ride on Friday.

 

Praying for good weather and safe arrival of Baby Butler this week :-)

 

Peter, Lise and Chris

Hello Scott,

 

If it is cancelled, then we will be driving down on Friday as well and will have room for another bike as well.

I’m leaning towards “Cancelling”, but will wait until tomorrow to decide. I’m hoping for the weather report to improve.

 

I still have to get to Canberra on Saturday for the B4B ride.

If I don’t ride on Friday, I will be driving on Friday night, but with everything/everyone else, that Julie is taking to Canberra on Friday night, there will be no room for my bike on our bike rack. I’ll need to find another B4B car to take my bike on Friday night.

 

It is less organizing for me to ride to Canberra on Friday, but may not be practical with the weather.

Looks like the perfect storm (cf. BOM, Windy) to me - high winds and heavy rain all the way from MV to Canberra.

 

My opinion is to err on the side of safety and 2. Cancel.  There is always 2020.

 

Cheers,

Hi All,

the wise and venerable Dave Reynolds has suggested that the possibility of cancelling this year's ride to Canberra be considered for safety reasons so let's not leave this hanging so people have some time to change arrangements and possibly cancel accommodation bookings.

Below is the list of those I believe have said they were riding so it is up to you as a group make the call. 

·         Luke Palma 

·         Steve Bowden  

·         Steven Harvey

·         Steve's friend

·         Pete Newing  

·         Lise Newing 

·         Brian Steemson

·         Scott Milliken   

·         Andy Smith   

·         Steve Rostirolla 

·         Martin Jacobsen

·         Ian Duncan (riding to Moss Vale)

·         Daz Smith (Moss Vale - Wingello loop)

Please respond to this email so as a group you can make the call by COB Wednesday. 

Based on the current weather forecast for Friday do you want to:

1. Ride
2. Cancel

 

Kirk

Without being too much of a stickler for details, I don’t recall the Wollongong departing crew tending to hold up the show in Moss Vale - there has always been time to raid the bakery while cars arrive and bikes get organised? Therefore, if the Mac Pass Crew are leaving earlier it would be helpful to see a concomitant earlier arrival and depart ready process at Moss Vale from everyone on that side of the equation as well? Mr Reynolds is clearly the sergeant at arms here so he will want an agreed and regimented roll out time. :-)

Also, is there a support vehicle the Wollongong crew can load day supplies into on Thursday night?

Cheers

Steve

My dad will be driving our Paj with trailer on Friday from Moss Vale. Very happy for the wollongong riders to drop your gear to my place on Thursday sometime

The ride has always aimed for a 7am MV departure which we rarely achieve. Usually closer to 7:30. Sometimes that’s been late arrival of the Gong riders (on a couple of occasions as late at 7). Other times it’s been the rest not factoring in the time it takes to unrack bikes & get ready. So those driving up should aim to arrive absolutely no later than 6:45

Assuming we are still systems go tomorrow, I don't want to be the one to hold up our Wollongong starters from Mossy.

 

So those coming with me from 2 Koorabel Ave: Scott, Brian and Martin, lets meet at my place at 530 for a 545 departure.

 

Forecast has been updated somewhat to 2-6mm rain as opposed to 9-15mm for Wollongong/Moss Vale.

Yeah the forecast is look at little better so I’m in.

All sounds good to me, ill be at the Pools ready for the 3:45am Departure, definitely happy to have the extra time to get there.

I’m feeling confident this weather forecast will continue to improve.

 

When do we make the official GO or NO GO, 4pm this afternoon?

Morning all

I'm a scratching. 

I've had to cancel my accommodation today or risk losing the money.

Forecast for Canberra is still for 95% chance of 15 to 35mm. 

Secondary reason for going to Canberra was to visit a sick friend but he won't be up to visitors so scratch, scratch.

SteveR

[Milliken, Scott]

Yes, weather reports still seem a bit varied.

I like this one which shows minimal rain in Canberra after 12:00pm. At least we might dry-out in the afternoon.

 

I’m in for a Moss Vale departure.

Yep Dave. 

Tossed around the options but there was two lots of accom to risk and also the option to drop in on Rik wasn't there this weekend so we'll save it till another weekend.
