    Nathan,

    Plenty or spots left mate. See you then. I will post up a time for the Friday ride as soon as we here from the other Tamworthians. You going to bring the trials bike.

    Yeah, i spose i could throw it in for a laugh. It only gets out a couple of times a year now, so i’m probably more capable on the berg, haha. Is there much trials stuff to ride on? (i know there’s plenty there but does blue mind people venturing of tracks?)

    The whole place is there to ride. It won’t worry Blue if you make your own track. Every new track is a new challenge, especially if it was made by a trials bike.

    No Worries Ev. The boys sending you over as the forward scout hey. Not game to cross over the great divide until one of their mates has returned safely from the nether regions (well not counting aaron from Tamworth anyway). You still planning on getting here around 11am on the Friday.

    Ev,

    This is the route I would take

    http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=coffs+harbour&daddr=-30.515824,151.99895+to:-30.4217881,151.3314795+to:Narrabri-Bingara+Rd&geocode=FQi3Mf4dGFwgCSmTfOmLTg6cazFwlEOQtAkGBA%3BFZBdLv4d5lEPCSnb6lNKywafazFRRzt0tAkGEw%3BFeTML_4dlyIFCSnD7qtIGoCfazGQz510tAkGEw%3BFQdBNP4dOYbyCA&hl=en&mra=dme&mrsp=3&sz=16&via=1,2&sll=-30.1303,150.107896&sspn=0.008259,0.013711&ie=UTF8&ll=-30.396569,151.677246&spn=2.108426,3.510132&z=8

    I don’t think there would be any hassles/charges staying Thursday night but I will check. I can arrive first thing Friday. The only hassle with coming up Thursday night is the roos/deer are really bad from Bundarra on. There is a short section of dirt just past Bundarra as well. Memory’s not the best but say 10km. Travel at night and it’s not a matter of if you see a roo but how many you don’t see until too late. I have been through there at night and didn’t hit any but was very nervous so just a warning.

    What time at night do they close it for the trip home.

    the plan

    Friday. Only a few of us. Start 9.30am. Does this suit you Nathan?

    Saturday. Around 10 riders so still a mobile group. Start 8.30am

    A few points

    1) No mobile service so prepare the missus for no phone calls.

    2) Ensure you bring enough fuel and spares for the bike.

    3) ensure the car has enough fuel to get back to bingara or barraba when leaving these towns. 80km return trip.

    4) bring enough food and beverages for the weekend. There are beds for all but will need swag or linen/pillow/blankets

    5) bring a jumper. It will be cold at night.

    there is a “Castletop” and Bike Territory sign with two white wagon wheels at the front gate on the Narrabri-Bingara road. About 60km from Bingara and 85km from Barraba. Turn left at the sign. Once over the grid then take the road that veers right and head up to the woolshed and quarters. This is our base camp and meeting place.

    Let us know what time you plan on arriving.
