Comment by Richard Smith on May 1, 2012 at 21:42: Sue - me too - and happy with Accommodation levy as well :)

Comment by Alastair (A-Man) Dowler on May 1, 2012 at 21:10: SUUUEEEE, I'll chuck some dollars for petrol no problem and I'm sure others would be happy as well.

Comment by Sue on May 1, 2012 at 20:03: I was planning on driving up and being support/baggage car but at the moment I just can't afford the petrol for the trip there and back so I will no longer be coming along. Have a good weekend.

Comment by A.V.O. on May 1, 2012 at 5:56: @CJH - welcome! - not sure about timing, too many variables. We will be leaving Vic Square at 7:45am

Comment by Alastair (A-Man) Dowler on April 30, 2012 at 17:53: Wooohooo, the weather gods are smiling at the moment.

Comment by Justin V on April 30, 2012 at 11:49: I dont mean to sound alarmist but, for everyones information, I will be carrying a first aid kit. http://www.adventurecycling.org/store/index.cfm/product/281/ultrali... I havnt used it before and am sure I wont need to use it on this trip. It doesnt contain a space blanket, so if you have one, feel free to bring it.

Not sure if this makes me the designated tail end charlie?
