I do believe the bloke is a mad man. So why even ask?

Is that per item or per event?
Theft sucks. Insurance can be a minefield in a maze. Good luck weaving through it

Rode the Zeehan Silver City trails with a group of mates on Saturday.
Had perfect weather, the West Coast gravel had a nice little bit of moisture in it, and it was my new Stumpy's first outing out there and this bike is built for this type of riding, couldn't be a better day out on bikes.

I think @silentbutdeadly summed it up nicely.
After the 12hr in 2021 I said I'd come back for a 24.
Then they cancelled '22, and I'd just started chasing tractors in '23.
It's been 3 years in the making.
You coming too?

Really sorry to hear this. I hope it works out for the better for you both. You just can't leave anything in public these days.

Ouch… How’d they get nicked? Locks cut?
Stumpys are easy enough to get though, surely you’ll be able to get the same one again.

First time back at Harcourt since it reopened, was showing a few kids around of which a couple were defiantly beginners around so only did tracks 1, 2 and 4. The revamp of the bottom of track 4 is nice and track 2 was running nice. Did manage to get a 'good' run of track 2 with some clear track in front of me, so technically I have no excuse for the sheer amount of casing of jumps I did, so much so that I'm expecting a call from the Victorian Law reform commission asking me immediately hand in my bike as no lawyer would be able to help me. Good news was that the beginners had such a good time there was already talk of upgrading bikes.

I last looked a couple of weeks ago and they were saying low 20s.
Mrs George got a bit of a shock when she looked this morning and saw high-teens!

Might get nippy overnight up in the hills but high teens is perfect riding weather, easy to regulate temp.

Yep, I understand how she feels. Luckily mine are in their twenties and thirties now, and don’t do that stuff anymore.

Seen a Strava mate had signed up to do the April Fondo, thought I haven't done a hungie in a while, checked through the 'to do routes' and picked one around the 100 mark.
140km drive to Meningie and the ride should be flattish gravel with a ferry crossing and goes around Lake Albert, also goes near the Aboriginal town of Raukkan, the town that David Unaipon is from and where he built a church (bloke on the 50 buck note)
Called in there for food... cheapest place to eat ever, $9 for a vanilla smoothie, a sausage roll and a bottle of water
add $10 to that in any other town.
The ride... FFS started 9:45am then soon into a 40kph NW headwind while I'm heading NW for 45km, roughish gravel and every tourist that went past had me eating their dust and wiping it from my eyes, got to Raukkan, ate and left at 1pm, had a nice tailey for 10km where I was doing 35kph, then turned South, so did the wind, complete change in 1 hour. 50kph S Westerly and back to 12-15kph, It was a beautiful ride but absolute murder and the 2km unexpected hike-a-bike over a sand track felt like a nice break. Got back to Meningie, thought fark-it, dry April has done well for 23days so went to the pub for a beer (just 1), where a local said there a big fire 15km East and out of control by 50kph winds... thats when I checked Windy, no wonder it was murder.
Carried a complete set of spares as it was a bit far for a mums-taxi, including a spare tyre, sealant and chain but needed nothing apart from my 2 bananas and a Cliff bar.
Anyway, it was a nice gravel loop with a bit of tarmac and got back with 97.5km done, then had to ride 1.3km up the main street and back to get the magic hungie.
Definitely up there with the hardest 100 I've ever done.

Can't say I've ever experienced a day down there that wasn't windy or wet.Seen a Strava mate had signed up to do the April Fondo, thought I haven't done a hungie in a while, checked through the 'to do routes' and picked one around the 100 mark.

Did a Tour Down Under participation ride from Strath to down there somewhere and the stretch into Goolwa was pure torture
