Putting it out there to guage interest in riding to Sunny Corner from Newcastle area to attend the 4th OBT Birthday ride in June. Leaving Newy somewhere on Friday 1st June to arrive at the campsite sometime friday arvo/evening
Plan is to keep this separate from the Brithday ride thread thus avoiding confusion :silly:Who`s keen ????
ACE ???The route for the day is approx 680k , and there is plenty of dirt & some interesting things to see along the way
Wisemans, Colo, Mountain Lagoon, Mt Irvine Trail, Black fellows Hand Rock, Lost City and the rolling hills of Portland of course :laugh:
It will need a fairly early start to get there and allow time for fuel stops, a look here & there if desired and of course lunch somewhere on the way :whistle:Damn, daylight saving would have been handy for this :laugh:
Route can be altered to shorten it up if required to around 400k
That still includes Black Fellows Hand Trail but not the Mt Irvine loop ,,,No probs
That`s what I bought the 690 for , It eats it up :woohoo:Only daylight to beat us :whistle: Hence the new LED lights , just in case
Trailboss wrote:Eags I will have a chat with you regarding that route I sent you. There are some outs and and sections that can be used to speed it up somewhat if its getting late. I also have the fuel stops I didnt put them all on the route because I know your GPS is pretty old and I dont know what it holds.
I will ring ya and discuss it ehI will text Ace as well

Alls good mate, I am aware of the shorter route & thought exactly that anyway
If all turns to shit, I can run the blacktop from Lithgow to Kirkconnell anyway
:laugh: Its bigger than the Nundle return trip Eags and we know how you ended that :laugh: :laugh:

Hey, Deano was the main caller on that road run home… His eyes were shot from the dust,,, The Yengo way would have cut about 50 mins off in the end but the kahgawallafoxes were out too :whistle: :laugh:
Safe call I thought at the time ,,,,
Anyway I will let Ace know and you can get him organised

Maybe in miles,, but I don`t plan to be getting lost or climbing up Goat tracks on some massive mountain in a Hailstorm and wondering if I`m gonna get back down the other side !!!! :whistle: :laugh:
All will be sweet,, I did Your place to my door in just under 4 hrs, so this is doable I reckon
(bar any flats or breakdowns) :pinch:Trailboss wrote:Anyway I will let Ace know and you can get him organised

Thanx,, I pm`d him hours ago,,, he isn`t a frequent onliner though, so thanx for that
Eags, I’m in :laugh: :laugh: . Just let me get the all clear for the day off. Should be okay.
Happy with the klms Eags…the beema was built for it(not sure about me though)
Might even have to fill the tank up with that loop TB reckons there might be one spot that i will have to wimp out on cause i’m still running road tyres until they wear out – damn those Bridgestones wear well!I’ll keep you posted but for now, i’m in. Can meet anywhere at anytime on the Friday if required. :laugh:
As per the pm , we will sort it out mate …
