Like to tag along? Read on….
 
This ride is an opportunity to enjoy some of the best of Australia.
Join the tag along ride for a day, a week or go the whole way coast to coast.
Dear IFMR Australia members and friends,
 
This is the last call for anyone interested in our Two Oceans Tag Along ride. To refresh your memory, the key points about the ride are as follows:
 
* Tag Along Format. The ride leader chooses the route, timings, accommodation etc. His decisions are for him. You are free to tag along, but you make your own arrangements. Follow exactly or vary things as you wish. You need to arrange your own accommodation etc. Tag Along means follow...if you choose.
 
* Safety. The state of the roads is an issue for everyone. Right now many roads on the east coast are in a pretty bad shape. Everyone is urged to ride to the conditions. Slow down and enjoy the ride.
 
*Drop in/Drop Out. The ride will begin in SE Queensland and travel through New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and if anyone is interested, into Western Australia. You can Tag Along for all of it or just some of it.
 
*Route Details.
