OCR Drysdale River 2014

Can anyone tell me the DEFINITE date for this gig?
Thanks, Dave

I would have thought it's the same as every other OCR. Second Saturday in August. (In even numbered years)

Correct, that will be the 9th/10th of August, only 13 months to go!

Chris

Thank you guys, need to lock hols in now!

Yeah, and it's going to go by very quickly.
Plans are well under way 4256 kms from my door to Drysdale Station

As the crow flys? Need to set the program to "avoid highways" "prefer secondary roads" and "travel by bicycle"? That should get you small dirt roads ...

Oodnadatta Track, Tanami Track, Gibb River road, plus whatever else comes up. Enough dirt for an outfit Mainly bitumen to Mildura though.

Interesting, any tips on how to get myself and my bike from Melbourne to Darwin fairly cheaply? I would be keen to come up, but can't afford enough time off work to ride up and ride home.

Get on to Wayne's MC towing. He's usually in here somewhere. Try a pm.
Or you could try riding it

Waiting to see the responses this time around!

I reckon the Tanami will be full of bikes. If theres no rain.

5 weeks leave locked in today! Anything can happen in a year, but I am actively working towards making this happen!

I think you might be right Davo. Yeah, rain could stuff it but at this time of year we might get lucky.

remember that rabbit flat isis now closed. need to plan your fuel range

so what actually is it...any links to previous?

if you find out..i may accompany you as in same boat...if that's fine with you of course..

Yep.

Maybe a group buy to get a tanker to park up at The Granites

No worries Dennis. There's fuel at Balgo and bililluna, but it's a bit sketchy so we're not going to rely on it. Going to carry enough to get us from Yuendumu to Halls Creek. About 750 kms

I am still working on doing this one .
The wife has already booked her 6 weeks off for this one.
