Ok, looks like I'm coming to Clare :-) Thank you all for your offerings.
I am happy to be 'Support Crew Sue' for this ride. I did it last year with Dave Bowen so may as well.
How does $10 each sound? It equals $5 each way.
I'll also get some 10l boxes of water to refill bidons at the rest stops and I have powdered Staminade if anyone needs electrolytes on route, also a first-aid kit. Does that sound ok?
Baggage drop is probably best on the morning of the ride, can people bring them into town? I will be home Friday afternoon but busy Friday night.
@Colin, I thought you had pulled out, you are down as a 'Not Attending', sorry for stepping on your toes.

I also could chip in Sue or Colin or whoever may like to be a designated support driver, as it would only be fair..not to mention human descency.

Sue - ditto re: fuel and accommodation costs - would be great not to carry the backpack to Clare and back.
@A.V.O - If we are leaving Vic Square at 7:45, guessing we meet there around 7:30?? Pls put me in the faster group. Also have booked into the Bentleigh.
