    Plan on doing a Birthday run around the Basin for Tim next Staurday. :woohoo:
    Grade 3-4 with grade 5 hills thrown in towards the end
    The grade 5 hills can be bypassed by those not willing to have a go. :unsure:
    Start at the Pines
    Ready to ride by 8:00am

    I can’t commit just yet , swimbo is in North Qld at the moment , gotta wait till she Ok’s the leave pass :blush: , I won’t do it if it’s gunna be real hot either , I rode yesterday and was dehydrated by 11 am :sick: .

    Gazza , the pines are at the junction of Watagan forest Rd and Wollombi Forest rd according to Google maps . I know the Watagan forest rd is correct , dunno if you’ll find Wollombi Forest rd on any official forest map though . IIRC the sign post at the Junction says it’s Walkers ridge Rd . :whistle:

    Hey Murph & Tim.,

    I can’t make this ride on Saturday sorry guys.

    Your Basin loop is a great ride.

    Have a good one and Happy Birthday Tim.

    According to my toppo map it is at the junction of Watagan forest rd and Wollombi forest rd.
    Can’t miss it, its a large camping area with pines at the northern end where we hope to be parked
    Hoping on some rain through the week to settle the dust

    No worries Thrillseeker, we’ll catch up again soon, mate.

    I have put Oldfatbeerman and Gazz55 on the list in pencil
    Cheers

    Hi there, i would like to do this ride if thats ok, i am no gun at all just a weekend warrior, i just bought a 2011 KTM 300exc do you think the 11.5 ltr tank will be ok for this ride as i have never owned a 2T so unsure on fuel consumption.

    Regards
    Chris

    Welcome aboard, Westy82
    Yes, your tank should be big enough
    From memory its only about 70kms, maybe a bit more if you do the gnarly hills towards the end.
    I’ll put you on the list
    Cheers
