Maybe we should organise a quiet beer at the Keith pub in his memory for afterwards. Any takers?
How about an overnighter ride, departing Adelaide Saturday morning, out through the Mallee via Mannum or thereabouts and bush camp near Keith? If you're keen, I'll plot a good ride.
What about Western Mexicans meeting up for this as well?

I reckon the folk of Keith would appreciate a good sized turn out of bike riders for this event. A look around the Ngarkat Conservation Park and Big Desert area is a great option for the Saturday arvo. Anyone else keen?

Weather's not exactly inspiring, is it, GA? Hopefully it'll be gone by Friday arvo. What method of transport are you considering? Not that CB Honda?
The rain should've packed the sand down heaps.

Weather's looking great if today's blue skies are anything to go by.
Anyone thinking of going just for the unveiling day?
