Just putting it out there atm. If it was up to me I would keep him all to myself and we could put my motor in, but that would be greedy wouldnt it.
Anyway as mentioned November. Now Geoff (Ratkat) will be running he's bike at Sydney on the 2nd and Melbourne on the 10th. Would be a good weekend at either. Wouldnt mind taking Clay and Kristen down to Melbourne so they could see a bit more for a weekend. So please give me your suggestions so we can all enjoy and show these guys a goood time.

canberra, CanBerra, CANBERRA ! etc

Melbourne in Oct though, for the Melbourne Marathon.

Otherwise, fishing at Tuross Head - nice drive down the coast from Sydney, 45k's south of Bateman's Bay. I have a house there we could use as a base for trips. Some nice coastal stuff and some 'bring your banjo' country as well.
