    Gunna try to get to North bridge about 6 for a feed at the food hall across the road from the Piazza, movie is open air on the big screen, the premiere is showing tomorrow as it's the international day of people with disabilities.

    Afterwards going to the Mustang bar for a lemonade or two :evill

    Hey Vince, I don't know where you are planning to meet or start from but if it is up this way you could run out past Mt Dale and down to Brookton Hwy, then down watershed Rd to Pikes Rd. Accross to Albany Hwy then North East Rd for a few Ks to the powerlines. Down the powerline for a while then across to Duncan Rd which takes you pretty much to Dwelly.
    That section of powerline track is pretty easy except for 1 hill:lol3, but there is a track around it.
    And if the rest of that route is too boring, there are hundreds of alternate tracks that run nearby.

    Inspiring story of four amazing guys, told exceptionally well through the movie - those that managed to get down to Northbridge this evening for the premiere screening of 'The Ride' were in for a treat.

    Not so the patrons of the Mustang Bar - Bully almost cleared the place when he started flashing around his mankini photos !

    I need to withdraw from the Dwellingup overnighter planned for this weekend sorry - an unexpected family thing has popped up :huh

    Hill Billy has posted up a suggested route above that looks quite good - thanks Howard !! - and here's a link to some info on the Captain Fawcett 4x4 track - http://www.boddington.wa.gov.au/tourism/fawcetttrack/fawcett4/file/at_download

    I haven't got as far as nailing down a starting point and time , so if anyone wants to pick this ride idea up and run with it please go for it. And for those that do get away this weekend - have a great time okay :1drink

    If there is still any interest in this overnighter I am happy to come up with a plan. If not, I'm sure I can find plenty of other things to do this weekend.
    Anyone?

    Catalano's is at the bottom of Vic Park, just down from the broken hill.

    Brekkie starts about 7.30.

    No matter what bike you take, you'll show up the rest. Koos will be on his F8 so you can bring whatever

    Love to be there but got a party on the Saturday night so won't be in any shape to ride, you know what that's like :lol3

    I don't know about that Bully.
    I think it was Koos we met on the CSR a couple of years ago. It took a while to reel him in.
    Not looking for a competition, just a ride.

    Can't do Catalanos, but can be at BP Crystal Bk for 9.00 if that's OK Koos.

    Cheers
    Howard.
