    Ive been thinking about the route for this ride,its hard to judge grading so i thought id ask (i dont know how to do links)
    Would the creek run video, number 3 (without deep bit at the end this time) from the macksville 2011 ride report on page three of reports be considered grade 3?

    Hey Ev
    The Macksville ride you led that day would be grade 3. It got tricky in spots because it was so wet but generally that would be a 3.

    Hi Ev, i gather its raining still raining up your way with plenty more to come. I have gone in to the videos of the last Macksville ride and i think we may need a canoe!!! Hopefully the rain will dry up before the weekend.

    Yes, heavy rain all night and most of the day in Port. Now its really windy. Best throw a chainsaw in the canoe as well. I hope all clears up for sunday.

    Sorry Ev, I have to pull out. I was so keen and I hear the Pub with no beer has lots of beer. I’ll try for the next one.
    Cheers

    Ev, unfortunately, you may need to put this ride on at a later date. They are saying the Pacific Highway at Kempsey is going to be closed for 5 days. :huh:

    The blokes from down south, will have to reconsider their options.

    Regards
    Mick

    What is it with you Bello boys?? Any time any one from up that way, puts on a ride, we get a major flood event??? :ohmy: :huh:

    I am hoping that things will ease but maybe the damage has already been done. Just watching the weather channel and it sounds as though the flood waters may hang aroound for a few days – lets see what happens. I am really keen but i think the weather might get me. However a big high is coming so not giving up just yet.

    Well after high winds and another 60ml last night well have to postphone this one, drainage will be ok but fallien trees might be a problem and theres no way the highway will be open by then. A few of us will still be riding if anyone is keen ,but it will be more of a recon/repair ride, no pub lunches,pm me.
