    Wow!! – what an awesome weekend – the RideAdv crew put together another cracker ride. I have’t got to many stories to tell as I did the ride mostly solo and some stages with “Hopper.

    The highlights for me were – Friday, not having to work, Saturday, (maybe) having a WR450 on it’s side at Capertee servo (it wasn’t me


    alright :blush: ) – Sunday, getting to tag along on a stage with Gally and Peter Payne – it’s got me beat how someone (Peter) can punt along a WR250R at that pace, Seeing Gally overshoot a corner and then “bloody hell he’s behind me !!! – I better get going”, hitting an” Ice slick on red clay” in Sunny Corner at 1.30pm

    Special thanks to TB and the RideAdv team for putting on an awesome weekend, Stephen Gall and Geoff Ballard for sharing their knowledge, Hopper for helping getting us thru Sunny Corner (my GPS had me doing circles) and everyone who attended to make it a “Great” weekend

    1350k’s in total, 1/2 of that done on Sunday – got home at 6.30pm on Sunday night (to a worried wife).
    Iv’e attached some pics so hopefully shows some of the country covered

    It`s been a while since I rode that route Linz, your pics have reminded me of some great times ;)
    Still such a pity that we lost Mt Irvine and have to trek over the blacktop on Bells Line ,,,,

    Hi Strucky

    Was great to catch up and hear what you went thru – when the Newsagent opens up in the morning you best be getting yourself a lottery ticket. Overall was a great weekend with great tracks and great company – working on some time to do the next one :woohoo:

    Hi Eagle – Mount Irvine would have added some fun to the trip down – make sure your new boss is aware you’re a nutbag Adv rider and may be late to work on some Mondays :whistle:
