December 2000 - Coast to Coast Rally - When the Coast to Coast riders get to Sydney, they will need to travel separately (or in groups of two or three riders). This is a firm requirement of the NSW Police (applies to all drives from West Australia).

Closer to the date we will be looking at seeing if anyone wants to help out as escorts to the people that don’t know Sydney that well. This would mean a ride out to meet the intrepid travellers and riding with them in smaller groups to Bondi... more details to come.
