You are required to create a main course only
The meal must be created from "scratch" i.e. no prior preparation such as marinating etc to occur outside the camp site
Additional points for teaming it with the 'right' beverage
The meal must be served to the judges' table at 7:00 pm on Saturday night

Riders:
Choose your own route to the event. There will be prizes, so clock your mileage.

Non-riders are very welcome - bring the family! Although all cook-off entrants must bring their gear by bike.

See you there.

Ok, I'm doing as I'm told.

At Monday's meeting I suggested that I would post my departure time so others could join us/me and we could ride up to the camp cook-off together.

I've now been told that we/I are leaving early, near 8 a.m. Saturday morning (I don't believe it). In doing so we'll be able to set up early and secure the camp area for those that ride later in the day. Eric and Tom are also leaving early - there wives are going up by car with a "caravan"

I'm told by the "Boss" that once I've set up the camp and if others arrive and then want to go exploring I can go for a ride. So if anyone wants to come up to the camp site early and go for an afternoon ride, I'll be available ........... or I could be on the turps

I don't see any category for my gourmet mushroom and potato chip omelette cooked in virgin chilli olive oil with a glass of Claret. Could this be included in the category list. Its the only thing I'm good at cooking up.... Bill

[toni]

I can think of a number of categories for that dish, Bill. Although, I think you'll have some stiff competition from Ken.

Is there anyone out there leaving early afternoon, who would like to meet up along the way for the ride out?
Cheers,
David

Michael’s pumpkin was a winner and I’m sure that every up coming camp event over the next few years will have some variation of it. It was simple, cheap, tasty and easy …. Even I could have done it. Next year I’m doing the same however with a coconut. It’s going to be a winner!!
