Scrapheap Adventure Ride 2016: Plan B looks good!

Congratulations to the Scrapheap Adventure Ride 2016 team on rolling with the change of plans required by a month of substantial rain in Western NSW, impacting directly on this weekend's major fundraising event. They have put just the right Plan B in place for this turn of events:

We have been concerned about the forecasted wet weather. Most of the roads in the Cobar Shire are closed and there is more rain predicted ... we got the call that with Tilpa lining up for its wettest September on record, we have been advised to switch to our Plan B. 

What is our Plan B? 

Anita and Ken Burcher, from Four Corners Farm Stay at Nymagee, in Western NSW, have generously put their hand up to host us on short notice. Nymagee has good wet weather access and red soil which isn’t a sticky as wet black soil. Big Thank you Ken and Anita!!!

All the ‘Scrappers’ plus family and friends will meet at Four Corners for a weekend of fun and entertainment from September 30 to October 2.

Nymagee is a small town in the north west of New South Wales, 618 kilometres (384 mi) north west of Sydney, 130 kilometres (81 mi) south west of Nyngan and 89 kilometres (55 mi) south of Cobar. It is in the Shire of Cobar. At the 2006 census, Nymagee had a population of 103. (Wikipedia).

• You can sponsor a rider or team, or donate to the fundraising campaign through the Scrapheap Adventure Ride website.

• Keep up with the weekend's activities via the Scrapheap Adventure Ride Facebook page - today's image is of the mobile coolroom being towed out from Dubbo to Nymagee. All the mod cons.

Good luck, and have a wonderful adventure to all the riders and support teams setting out in the next few days!

The motorcycle enthusiasts climbed aboard their older model Suzuki 185cc ag bikes to travel some of the most iconic outback roads in Australia purely to promote the September 2016 Scrapheap Adventure Ride, a now-annual event to raise funds for Down Syndrome NSW, and raise awareness of Down Syndrome ...
