2006 Hmm ! It seems longer!.
Tweedle dee and Tweedle dum had a pretty miraculous escape. If they had been 20 feet earlier they would have been down in the creek. Paul Smith and Peter Develee and some others were responsible for getting the bikes out by removing the wheels, in the rain and upside down.
Tweedle Dee went on to crash badly on the Cobbler track the following day. Ted and myself remained to keep him company and get assistance. We enlisted Cameron Stewart and Willie Graham to pick him up, but they got hopelessly bogged on the cobbler track. It was almost dark when we finally got a 4 wheel with real tyres to pick him up and take him to Wangaratta hospital.
The following evening I took Tweedle Dum back to Melbourne with all their gear.
It was a great weekend there should be more of them.

In a word Ken, Yes! Apart from the fire wood, last time I was there I left some undercover in the firewood shelter that's just above the wood pile, if it's been used and not replaced then the only wood is what's not covered. |

The day that I had to pay for sauce on my pie.

The numbers at the moment are somewhere between 17 and 20, I'm waiting on the final word from a few.
Food, two X breakfast and one dinner will be catered for.
We'll have to see what the weather does for us for the rest of the week before we decide on where we're riding, I do have a plan, just need to see how much water is in the river as to the execution of that plan!

So we're at twenty, I will not get there till later in the afternoon Friday, got a bit of running around to do Friday morning buying stuff.
There should be a few there friday lunch time, maybe Ken will take you for a run to Cobbler or you could just sit around and relax!
People will need their own food for Friday night, the BBQ is there.
