Hey Ev
Will Thursday/Friday rides be in the Bellingen or Macksville area?
Does it depend on the amount precipitation?
Will Thursday/Friday rides require extra fuel to be carried?
My 500 does pretty good but Tims 200 is a tad thursty
Still weighing up whether to comitt to this ride
It is a long way to go and not be able to do the hills intended because of the bloody rain
Shall talk it over with the son this arvo
He needs two new tyres, two heavy duty tubes and rear wheel bearings
I need v/v clearances checked and shimmed and rear wheel bearings
We have our work cut out for the next couple of days and bloody work gets in the road
If we make it up there we will be getting to the Caravan Park around 9:00 PM Wednesday
Hope to seeya’s Australia Day
Cheers
Murph

I might have to come and say test to you all. I am in urunga on a fam holly when this ride is on, its a bit wet here so I should have towed the fiddy over, and tagged along to help pick up the carnage.

Thurs, Fri will be in Bello rain or hail.
I have spare bottles for fuel so dont worry about that.
There will be dozens of hills Murph including four mile, and even in the wet Coffs has more trails than you can poke a stick at.
I guarentee you this ride will be worth the drive and i know you like a challenge.
Also if you are arriving that late you should probably stay at my place give us a ring on 0413 258 184

Hey Ev,

How many ks are you looking at doing per ride?

My 450 normally gets around 85-90 before reserve , is that enough? :dry: :dry:

400 to 600mm 0f rain in the next few days..

The forecast is bad but it looks a little better Fri, Sat and Sun.
The plans have been changed a bit.

Thursday Riding south from Bello 8ish back in town for lunch around 12.30 to meet Mike then ride some hills, at least a dozen.
The sth side copes with rain alot better than the nth and im confident we can get 100ks of good stuff in regardless of the weather.

Friday well ride the Nth side it will be a challenging day, but if we stay in the valley im confident we can get a day of good stuff in.
We will still be able to ride the Pine creek single trails (still the most fun you can have on a dirt bike even in the wet)

Saturday is now in Macksville,100ks+ of gold, 80% singles, 8/9 hours, grade5 in spots.No food or fuel.

Sunday well decide on the day.

F$%k camping in weather like this, I have a spare room and a verandah and ill set up a few gazebos and tarps, and a hot shower.

Mine is similar mike, its probably a good idea to buy a 1 litre aluminium bottle from Bcf, that way you dont have to worry.

Its pretty bad and only mad bastards would ride in it , but if we arent flooded in and if someone turns up then it will be on.

Lads ,

Bob and Galey are cleared for departure early Thursday morning to arrive in Bello at midday. Hopefully get a ride in the arvo. Plans are to leave Sunday after a morning ride dependant on the weather.
We are staying at the Federal pub.

Newish 952 front fitted with a new pirelli mx extra for the rear for my 300. Good for 100+ kms but will bring a bottle or check out the BCF bottle.
