Hi TB,
I was riding with another mate of mine. It was supposed to be a gentle “get used to the new tyres ride”. For the 75km travelled on the new tyres they seemed OK on tar. The ride on the short gravel section must have been 5km tops when the roo jumped into my front end. I did not see him at all, it was just one big jump out of the scrub and down I went. One dead roo and one busted knee
The bike will need a new SW Motech crash bar and rear brake lever (does anybody make one that folds?) Other than that the Ten did not have a scratch.
It was just one of those rare events. It is a good thing I had all the gear on as it could have been worse.
Ride safe guys.
Cheers, TT
That’s a real bugger TT , bloody roos are the biggest worry when adventure riding but you can’t do anything about the ones you can’t see
Hope the knee comes good ASAP and your back on the bike soon !

Bloody rain, recieved this tonight
Dear Ténéré Tragics,
After much consideration, it is with great regret that we have decided to POSTPONE the 2012 Ténéré Tragics Mountain to Mountain Run.
Unfortunately, the extreme weather conditions currently impacting southern NSW, which is due to host the majority of our course, and the current flood warnings and evacuation alerts in these areas have beaten us. It would be unlikely that we would be able to ride much, if any, dirt roads and even some tar roads will be impassable.
Heading the advice of authorities, the safety of all participants and crew on the ride must be foremost in our planning.
Of course, we also want to be able to enjoy a ride befitting our mighty Ténéré and Super Ténéré machines. So rather than staging a 5 day road ride, we have decided to postpone for 6 months to give everyone time to re-arrange time off work and other commitments.
Those booked in at Goldfields, Bathurst have NOT been charged their accommodation and we have been assured your credit card won’t be charged.
We have cancelled the Big Trout at Oberon. Any who may have already paid will need to contact the motel direct to arrange a credit.
Riverglades Caravan Park at Tumut have cancelled all bookings.
The Bridge Motel in Bateman’s Bay has also cancelled all bookings for Ténéré Tragics.
The Station Resort will transfer your bookings to the new date.
If you have made bookings elsewhere, please make sure to cancel them.
So, here is the new date for the 2012 Ténéré Tragics Mountain to Mountain Run:
Start: Goldfields, Bathurst Sunday October 14.
End: The Station Resort, Jindabyne Friday October 19.At this stage the days in between will be the same daily schedule as March.
We are really disappointed about having to postpone but we feel this is the best decision to make.
We hope to see you all in October and we’ll be in touch soon with more details.
Thank you for your understanding.
With thanks and best regards,
Clubby & Tania
