Looks sweet TB. Can’t wait to ride some decent tracks at Orange. I have only ridden rocks there. And Hill End Pub is a great over night stop.

TB your caption to the photos is “here is what we will be riding” and in the photos there is only orange bikes – is that a pre requisite that you have to ride an orange bike at orange? :blink:

Nah only shitten you those singles and tracks look sweet sweet sweet almost like an orange.

I can’t wait – how good is OBT?

Probably best if u didn’t have a orange bike as that is the hill that a blue one with really bald tyre and a one tooth sprocket made it up and for memory the 650 tractor turned around at bottom (correct me if i’m wrong )
If i can I may come over for the orange trails for the morning or arvo ??? see what happens
unless I’m too painful tb??
this web site can waste a lot of valuble (thats not spelt right but anyway) worik time can’t it.

Yes Bob went straight up bald tyre and all

The track was blocked as you can see and it was to good a photo opportunity so I had to get up there

You are welcome Bob for the morning rides for sure

The picture says it all Murph. Two KTMs been pushed up the hill.

Would have made a nice photo if TB rode up between them on the back wheel. Looks like you would’ve had enough time to give Bob the camera and had a couple passes TB.

There are still a couple of spots left for this ride if anyone is interested

I am doing a ride starting at 8am from just outside of Orange. Saturday mornings ride will consist of all pine single trail, after about 3 hrs then a pub lunch in town and refuel, we will then ride back out to another pine forest and bush for a couple of hrs of all single trail.
After which we will ride back to the cars (parked at my parents property) fuel up and put on our back packs with clothes for an overnight stay at Hillend Pub, we will then ride to Hillend via a mixture of fire trails, dirt roads, one big long creek crossings and the Bathurst / Hillend Bridle trail.

Overnight Stay Hillend and refuel

Sunday leave Hillend after fueling at the servo, travel out through Long Point crossing via fire trails and twin trails to Mullion Creek where we will have fuel stored. We will then spend a few hrs riding in what I think is the best single trails I have ridden, Moto, LC, Champo and I really enjoyed them when we rode out there in April

Ride is a grade 4 at a grade 3 pace

See Here

Numbers will be limited

1/ TB
2/ Kylie D
3/ Dan D
4/ Chicken
5/ Boulder
6/ Mal
7/ Crash
8/ Rocket
9/ Scotty
10/ Mal (Sutto’s)

Hey Moto,

Will Sutto’s have the 3hunge delivered before the Orange ride? I reckon those pine forests would be a great place to break her in! Imagine the bragging rights you’d have – coming back from your new bikes’ first ride……with TBs’ 4 stroke scalp hanging from the new 2 strokes’ handle bars!
Plus……I think you’ve got a members card at the Hillend Pub now…….after your last visit!
Get on to Sutto’s and hurry them up!

That is too bad Boulder – It’s always good to have you on a ride. Enjoy your trip to Adelaide mate and keep safe.
