bump. i’m ideally going to be getting supplies for this this coming weekend, so if people are keen to do a “show of hands” prior to buying a ticket, that’d be swell. get a group of mates, beg/steal/borrow a tent and a sleeping bag and you’re good to go! i’m really looking forward to hitting up the [O’Shannassy Aqueduct Trail](http://www.dotheyarravalley.com.au/oshanassy-trail-warburton/) as it’s really mellow (once you’ve climbed up to it) and rather beautiful from what i’ve been told. did i mention the campsite has hot showers? oh, i did? HOT SHOWERS!!! ---

I cannot attend sadly. So if anyone I’ve met in real life wants to go but has no camping biz I can hook you up with a Tent, mat and bag. You’d have to pick ti up by this monday the 22nd. -mike ---

I did the ride with MikeD last year. Fucking rad times. One important thing to note is the gate to the Upper Yarra Reservoir Park closes at 6pm. You need a code to get in after that. The nice people at the Reefton pub will tell you that code! Also, there’s a massive all weather shelter / food hall at the park, which could easily sleep about 100 people. So if you don’t have a tent, just sneak in there! Here’s some pics of O’Shannassy Aqueduct and the reservoir I took on our trip. ![](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7063/6975681231_955f88e9ed_c.jpg) ![](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7190/6975709507_612f588184_k.jpg) ---

Saturday 27 April Min 15 Max 25 Partly cloudy. Winds north to northwesterly 15 to 20 km/h, increasing to 25 to 30 km/h during the morning. Sunday 28 April Min 16 Max 24 Partly cloudy. Winds northerly 25 to 35 km/h turning northwesterly during the day. So the weather is perfect, it’s a long weekend for most and you don’t need to be a beardo tourer to join in the fun. sounds good to me, and i’m going regardless 😉 [FOA Overnighter!! - Eventbrite](http://www.foaovernighter.eventbrite.com.au) for tickets. who’s comin with me? ---

ok folks, bit of a last gasp effort needed, or this may need to be postponed. if you’ve been thinking about coming along but were waiting until the last minute, this is the last minute. weather looks good, i’ve got meat for the BBQ (can get vegan/vegetarian alternatives if necessary), we’ll have a fire and talk about fixxxies and whipskids. campsite looks beautiful, aqueduct trail even more so (if you’ve got biggish tyres). here are some pics of the campsite and the aqueduct trail: ![](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9RhbQHqTu2Q/Ta6W5LKPd-I/AAAAAAAAHSs/e_ZgGDXOJKo/s1600/Upper+Yarra+Dam+Apr+18+2011+038.jpg) ![](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bbz7d7Fq-uw/T4ETlZuUF3I/AAAAAAAABDY/N79SI9qVEXI/s1600/Oxfam%2Bfinal%2B002.jpg) ![](http://www.dotheyarravalley.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Oshannassy_hero1.jpg) ---
