    Snowy,Bollocks(doesnt know yet) ;) House and myself will be running a bit of a down hill ride if anyone is keen. The ride will be leaving nundle and half way will be the coast. 1400 mtrs vertical drop :P we will be meeting up with the rest of the Old Bulls at the
    ride being posted as the,,5th and 6th Feb 2011 – Nabiac Motorcycle Museum adventure style weekend groups coming from Sydney, Wauchope and maybe Tamworth. we will be using as many singles, firetrails as humanly posible, there unfortunatly will be some major dirt road riding , but tar will be taboo if possible.
    We are gunna need a support vehicle as we will be sleeping at gingers creek on the first night and at nabiac on the 2nd night, the run back to nundle will be done in 1 day.
    I recon there will be the standard 10 from here going and whoever else want to tag along.

    There ya`s go the feelers are now out there for all interested.

    Sounds alright. Is it start Friday Back Sunday or start Saturday back Monday. Looking at the map I’m guessing it is a different ride on the way home (as apposed to riding back the same way we came). How many km’s is on the way home. Two reasons for asking. Fuel and time (especially if group of 10 or more). Having the 2T I’ll need to carry some oil but it all can be accomplished. Don’t lock me in yet (have to get a better grip on rides planned for next year) but am keen.

    Hey Boony, if you have a support vehicle you may need to throw some swags or tents on mate. There are limited cabins at Nabiac for the saturday night and if you guys have a support vehicle then its easier for you guys to carry your tents / swags. I will camp as I have a light weight setup but there are others that dont was my thinking

    If you bring 10 from Tamworth and 6 or so come from Wauchope and I get 10 from Sydney, Newcastle and the Central Coast well it will be a huge night at Nabiac. I will ring the Caravan Park and museum tomorrow and get things happening

    I will also start a ride thread later (with a better name :laugh: ) and we can combine them like the ride gatherings with area threads :)

    It will be huge :woohoo:

    I assumed the Sydney boys would be adventure biking the trip. I gather this assumption is wrong and you will be dirt biking it.

    We will be adventure style riding out of Windsor, into the Watagans, into Newcastle and up to Nabiac. Dirt, fire trails, twin trails and I will throw some singles in to show the Tenere can do anything (singles will be and option)

    There will be a thread for the Nabiac ride etc that has a better name. Boony the name makes me think of a drag race, or the likes but not a 3 day ride weekend :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :P

    all our rides end being drag races anyway :laugh: especially with Pep and Aaron around edging everyone one.

    This ride will start and finish at nundle. people are free to trailer their bikes to nundle , do the ride and trailer them home again, thats what we`ll be doing. :P

    so just to add to my confusion if I trailer the bike to nundle, is the ride a dirt loop back to nundle over 2 days ? only got the CRF450X so not setup for adventure style riding. Trailer up and back might be the go for me :blush:

    The ride destination is “Nabiac”.. There are 3 separate groups starting and ending at some point.. Adventure style for most so a proper size tank will be required for the Sydney riders.

    Sydney is starting at Windsor -> Nabiac back to Windsor

    I think Tamworth boys are starting at Nundle -> Nabiac back to Nundle

    I think the Wauhopians are starting at Wauhope -> Nabiac back to Wauhope.

    Hope that clears up the confusion.. :P

    With the exception of some singles around Gingers Creek both routes will be very much the same and include a lot of adventure style riding. You cant do Nabiac to Nundle in a day through singles even if there were that many singles for the route (and there arent) Mick will do Gingers to Nabiac as he has done some of that before and thats adventure style

    I just spoke with Boony and to quote him “its as much adventure as your end but with some singles around Gingers” He said they were coming home from Nabiac up Nowendoc road and its a major dirt road.

    The Nabiac weekend ride the original ride was listed as an adventure ride I think it still is

    Sneezy there is a two day ride at Hampton in Jan that would suit you and your CRF better, lots of singles, pines, the whole smash Pub accommodation, watch for it to be posted in Dec
