Put me down for a bed for the three nights.
Unfortunately I will be attending as an ex TDM owner as the TDM was a victim of a trade in offer too good to refuse

There is room for more people should we need it, the price goes up $30 per pax over 12 people.I'll be paying a non-refundable deposit (did I mention that before?) so it would be good to see those that want a cheap bed get in early and commit.Cost will be split between those in the lodge... proximately between $131 for 6 people and $67 for 12 people... so it is a bargain if you don't mind sharing and want a better night sleep than a tent in the mountains might offer. If a couple wants a room to themselves, it would cost about $263 for the 3 nights! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif[/img] Money not spent on accommodation is more to spend on cake.

Hi Azza, ok put me down for the 3 nights. But I'm going on top this time!!<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Ok, so what is it Brenton? (and will we be able to keep up?)
Who is coming to Omeo on Thursday?
I dont get home until about 7pm but would be happy to come up to omeo for a meal with you (golden age?) So say 7 30pm.
As we have plenty of time on Friday to get to Berridale as opposed to Monday (when I at least need to get back earlyish afternoon), could i suggest that we travel over via the back road to Buchan (some dirt but good dirt) then across to Orbost again by the back way (but all good seal). Then via the Bonang rd which is a sensational ride with small amount of good gravel. ????
cheers Graeme
Its FJR 1300 Graeme (but the riders no faster)
I will be overnighting at Wagga Wagga Thursday night and heading down via Tumbarumba and the Elliot way.
If any ones heading in that way let me know
Brenton

I think the 10 day mark is reasonable.
I have had a chat with the financial controller and now have permission to stay under a roof rather than canvas, so add me to the lodge please Azza.
Ok, I count 9 confirmed with another possible 4 so far.

Cool!
nice bike. Remember Alwyn from Q land had one last rally? I spent some time chasing him along that section Omeo-Blue Duck. He said he had the rear spinning up in 1st gear coming out of those corners, I was never lower than 2nd. He also told Ken something like "those TDm's are bloody quick out of the corners"
Look forward to seeing it.
cheers Graeme

Hi Ian, fantastic! I did post on here in the "Spotted" after meeting you in Omeo. Would guess you are coming from Benalla on the friday? or will you overnight at Omeo? Obviously it would be great to have you join us for the ride from Omeo----
You and "big Dave" will have to fight it out for "oldest rider" ??? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]
cheers Graeme
Brenton, Azza, Shane and maybe Ian (2)
you saw that I posted about going ex Omeo via Orbost etc. Brenton is going via Elliot Way. Brenton will come out near Cabramurra. If he turns left then this is irrelevant but if he turns right towards Khancoban then we could maybe meet him there around lunchtime and all travel to Berridale via Thredbo. This could be affected by whether Ian is coming to Omeo on thurs or friday. Or we can stay as is. What does everyone think? And then there is the other Ian (aussie9) from Mildura, that could fit in also?????
cheers Graeme

G/day Graeme........The most direct route from here is Corryong Khancoban Thredbo . It would be a big detour to go via Omeo. I am planning Friday via the direct route.....Ian.

Apart from unforeseen circumstances both Big Dave and myself will be there ...... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/clapping.gif[/img]
I'll be travelling from Sydney and Dave from Cowra.
G'day gents, very unhappy to have to say that I'll be missing out on this years TDUT. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif[/img] The body's been telling me something's not quite right since mid December & I've tried my best to ignore it but it has persisted so now I have to attend to it. I've had some "tests" & indications are that nothing serious is going on but there's more to come & of course they're scheduled smack bang in the middle of the TDUT week. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img]
Hope you all enjoy yourselves. Hopefully next year wife will be well, I'll be well & actually get to a TDUT. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img]
