Gascoyne Cup Gascoyne Junction Saturday August 22 2015
Time to plan for the 2015 Gascoyne Cup.
The trip is possible completely on good bitumen or with a selection of gravel roads.
The Race Club have set a provisional date of Saturday August 22nd for the Gascoyne Cup.
My plan is to leave on Thursday afternoon and head straight up the Indian Ocean Highway stopping at Geraldton and then staying Friday at Carnarvon, Gascoyne Saturday and returning via Kalbarri.
Last year was a brilliant ride either on the bitumen or the gravel.

C'Mon Gascoyne guy, You and the bike looked pretty cool covered in mud last year, gave it a rat look.
Anyhows, You have got plenty of big powerful hoses at work to knock the crap off it when you return

I'll be going... will be looking to tag along with a dirt crew. If there's been a decent downpour in the days before, the 1600 will be given a nice run up the highway instead.

There will be a mixture of dirt and black top roads, with bush camping, let me know if you are thinking of tagging along
