Put me down for this 1 & I’ll try to find 2 or 3 more.
Got any directions I’ll be leaving here at 5pm friday and don’t want to get lost in the dark. :silly:

No worries boze, welcome aboard.
Ill put some directions on the first post, I also made a call and have arranged for a mate to meet us 3 hours into day 2 with fuel if its needed.

We will also be driving Friday afternoon arriving on dark.
January 15, 2014 at 8:28 pm #253239Please pencil Tim and myself in Mrsquiggle
Will confirm when I see Tim next. :huh:
Cheers
MurphJanuary 15, 2014 at 10:17 pm #251904I’ll be away with the boss :unsure:
Have a good one, it should be a cracker

January 15, 2014 at 10:49 pm #253244Nice Vid Squiggle
I can see a lot of effort has gone into preparing this ride to ensure it is a success!! Charley from Barrington Trail Tours also uses and maintains those trails and they also make up a large part of the “Forest 300” a classic enduro that has a long history and regarded by many as the best Enduro in Australia. All it needs is a couple of good down pours of rain to wash away the dust and it will be Primo.
Boony knows how good this ride is so all you Tamwegians should step up to the plate and have a crack.
sorry I wont be able to make it I will be out in the middle of the Pacific ocean somewhere.Ollie
January 16, 2014 at 2:30 am #251905Can’t make this one, working all wkend, sounds like a good ride.
January 16, 2014 at 3:36 am #253255We’re in. :woohoo:
If thats OK. :dry:
At least for Saturday
Cheers
Murph and SonJanuary 16, 2014 at 7:40 am #253256Hey Murph,
Welcome, you and tim feel free to take the long way across the creeks
Sunday is the bigger day so hopefully you can do both.
Spoke with Jonsa today and between us we will be bringing about 200 litres of drinking water and I have been drinking from the creeks for years . I will also organize a big arse BBQ for some group cooking. We will be heading up on Thursday night to stake our claim and make sure there is plenty of room for everyone to roll out a swag and plenty of firewood on hand.
Riders should as a minimum bring bike, fuel, esky full of grog and whatever you want to cook on the BBQ.
Now its down to the weather

Hey Ollie,
Calling it work is a stretch, more pre-riding on the way to get these loops really dialled in and putting a couple of more hills in day 1 :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Lets hope on some rain soon.
I will work on Tim for a second day. :unsure:
We will be totally self sufficient, just a bit worried about Tims fuel for a 130km loop.
The river water will be fine for us, also.
Cheers
Murph
P.S. Are you riding Friday????January 16, 2014 at 8:17 am #253283No problems with the fuel murph, have a mate at main creek who has agreed to do a fuel drop for us 3 hours in on day 2.
Not sure on Fridays bike agenda, if I get everything setup on Thursday afternoon then Ill be on the bike for a bit in the morning, see how I go. FYI Boyto and I look like heading up on Sunday this weekend or next.
January 16, 2014 at 8:27 pm #251906Hey Mr Squiggle,
Could you put me down plus 1 please. I know that area pretty well, one of my favourites.
Be good to catch up with you blokes after Nundle last year.
Cheers
Papa
