just chucking ideas out there, some things that go through any organisers head
--- obviously everybody can,t be catered for as far as dates
--- and we can,t predict the weather on any given weekend in 6 months
----and having the destination as centre, being Bourke is boring as bug guts for a ride,
--- so having had the last 4 in the same place, a change could be in the air,
part 2
having placed it centrally for the distance side of the argument,
---to move it west again is going to be bat shit boring,
--- to move it east, the central guys might as well come for day rides and go home again
part 3
one suggestion has been is to move it north and/or south of centre and change dates to suit climate
---eg, the snowies in the off season, lots and lots of corners and scenery either springish or autumnish for the sake of the argument
--- then near the qld border on other yr
---- or we stay put
anyway thats where we're at, something to chew on for the next while
