Just letting you know Mr squiggle. I’m not going to be on this ride. 38 degree average over the three days isn’t my cup of tea. Maybe next time.

Hey Boony,

No worries mate but FYI the forecast on BOM and weatherzone is for 28 and 26 degrees, and its always a couple of degrees cooler in the forest as we are riding through alot of rainforest area. There is a low chance of rain on the Sunday so hopefully that should equal some cloud cover at the least. I generally dont trust the forecast until a couple of days out anyway.

If we do end up with hot days we will look at moving the leave time forward to 7 AM maybe.

So we spent Australia day pre-riding the barringtons with Boydo and Dion from DBW and it was a bloody awesome day, thanks to boyto and Dion for the company.

Wet tracks everywhere with zero dust and riding in light rain for alot of the morning to make sure it stayed that way. Slippery enough to add some challenges but not enough rain to turn it into a tourture test.

We have put 3 more tracks in the Day one loop including dixies track (my new favourite), another hillclimb ( will post a vid ) which turned out to be jonsas prado hill, this is easy enough in the dry but with a bit of rain was harder and better. There are four new short singles to take away some twin track about 2 thirds in.

There are some new trees down right across our tracks so we pushed some trails around these.

Boyto has volunteered to help clear some overgrowth on the Friday if he can get the time off work, very keen to run you blokes through, and loving the time on the bike getting this ride sorted, its a win win :cheer:

“Iva” and I can only do a one day ride with you blokes that weekend. Which day will you be doing the run in your video?

Hey Papasmurf,
Both days are good, the video is from day 2 mostly. Saturday is 88ks and a shorter day. Day 2 is slightly longer at 130ks .

We’ll be sitting in here at lunch with a cold 1 in hand, 37, 39, 37 or so should cool me down

[AlexMember]

It can’t get to 39c before lunch Boony your tripping. The ride time should be 20-30c.

[Shane CosgroveMember]

I kinda hope it is a stinker and Boony turns up. It has some poetic justice that they organize the coldest ride of the year at nundle (allegedly) and I’ll flip dat shit, yo
