I say that as a question, just because last i heard, it was just Q.Cody and me...

My team mate jamie chittick met him at dakar this year, he only got in touch with him a couple weeks ago so it was abit late for us to organise anything but ghr still had a spot open so hes coming

Quick query for the ones in the know, are the roadbooks on a roll or do I need to be bring scissors and tape?

scobes · 09-09-2012, 06:26 AM

Roadbooks are on a roll but most days there are 2 rolls so we swap at the mid leg service

JayBo1 · 09-09-2012, 06:46 AM

Bring small scissors and tape. Sometimes you have to "insert" small sections into the scroll with corrections, but most times it's just for changing from scroll 1 to scroll 2 during the day as scobes has said. I always carry a bit of tape and small scissors with me so I can do running repairs if needed. I have had to do this once so now always carry them - I'll probably never need them again

That reminds me I had to do running repairs last year during a stage thumb switch broke I ripped the map whilst hand rolling it on damm that was a hetic 5 minutes with tape and paper going everywhere

I had scissors aswell but a small tape dispenser was handy

tehdutchie · 09-09-2012, 07:10 AM

Excellent, i always have a small roll with me, for use in the morning when rolling the RB in.

Was just going over things (dropping 'dont forgot items' in a cardboard box in the hallway) and thought i'd give a quick shout out to make sure

Can't help to notice that this year there are about twice as many overseas rider entries than those originating from NSW/Qld combined- maybe time to think how to attract more riders from those states?

It's a big island... and Perth is on one side of it.

JayBo1 · 09-10-2012, 04:48 AM

Be interesting to crunch the numbers, but I suspect it would cost the same to race the Safari in WA coming from anywhere, unless you live here! (Based of course on the excellent offer of shipping from the organisers). I know it costs me only slightly more to race the Desert Challenge in the Middle East than to race the Safari in my back yard! The Safari has the measure of the DC though, with both being excellent events. The only thing the Safari needs is more internationals ... now it needs more locals again
