    before he gets there . . .

    Peter is leaning on me to go. It would be about 4 times the furthest
    distance I've ever ridden 'till now. May try and get some Ks out of
    the way on Friday because 9 hours each way PLUS a party is too much.
    Anybody know good places to stop around Euroa, Violet town, or Benalla?

    Violet Town is the better stop, the take-away on the right is the best

    I can't even confirm I'll be able to do it - I wont list all the stuff
    I'm doing but the next two weeks are the busiest time of year for me!
    If it is running OK on Friday, I doubt I'd get away early - I'm
    looking at 5:30 depart from Mulgrave, VIC and maybe 3 hours riding on
    the Hume... just so I can make the Saturday ride more do-able!
    It will be dark all the time on Friday night. I'd say it's 50/50
    whether I can do it.

    I did Echuca to Sydney in a day. Did the return trip (to Melbourne) in
    two days, stopped overnight at the caravan park in Holbrook where a
    motel style cabin was $80 and got a free beer and ride to/from the RSL
    club for food.

    It was a bit too much riding.

    Albury.

    One hour or three hours at night on the Hume is all the same. If
    you're prepared to ride halfway to Albury on the Friday you may as
    well ride the whole way and get more km out of the way. You probably
    have the range to get to Albury on a tank from Mulgrave, there are
    service centres on the Hume at Seymour & Glenrowan if you need fuel.
    If your bike is comfortable enough to sit on for 3.5hrs there's no
    other reason to stop or slow down.

    Which one? There's the old pub on the right, the Violet Town hotel,
    and the flash new hotel on the left, the Ellen Frances, which burned
    down about 15 yrs ago and was rebuilt. I'll bet the beds at the Ellen
    Frances are about 100 years more comfortable than those at the VTH.

    Sounds like a possibility for the "Longest Distance per CC" trophy!

    OK. I'm STILL not promising anything, but I've come up with a plan on
    how to get away from work early on Friday (which involves simply
    running away -- it's very unprofessional) and I've just hammered
    some tent pegs out straight. The next question is: where is the
    nearest bottleshop to Funkytown? I usually set up the tent, stow
    everything I can and THEN go to the bottleshop. If the bottleshop is
    more than 10 km away, I'll get a bottle of spirit on the way in!
