Somewhere in our drunken ramblings on New Years Eve, Moose and I decided we would do a new years day ride.
As you can imagine it was a late start and we finally threw our legs over the XR’s at 10 am and headed off.
As it turns out we had picked the hottest day this summer to go riding with no breakfast and both nursing a reasonable hangovers, so a easy ride was decided upon.
After enjoying my ride up the Point Plomer rd last week, I suggested we did that again. Moose was more than keen, so that is where we headed.
Hear is me at Mooses in my brand new bling gear that Santa bought me.
Just to break up a longer tar section just out of Wauchope, we headed into the bush for some single trail. We had gone no more than 500meters in the bush, I looked over my shoulder to see if Moose had seen me turn up a trail when I dunno what happened, but the front wheel washed out on me and I hit the deck.
So I am claiming the first off for the year on this site. No harm done though, only my pride,as Moose was laughing when he was asking if I was OK, minimal sincerety there.
We headed to Port Macquarie to get the ferry across the Hastings river and headed up Plomer road which was even better than the other day as we have had a fair bit of rain and all the pot holes were full of mud.
Here is a pic waiting for the Ferry.
We rode up to Big Hill which is a Great place of the coast.
After we left there, I thought we would go down a track I had seen on the way there and see what was down it.
Didn’t we luck out!!! What a great trail!! The trail was composed of a grey sand and it was great to ride. As we came down onto some low country the swamps started and you would be easily convinced you where in Arnem land or some other exotic northern location. Half way along the trail we met two old hippy’s in an old Nissan Patrol with Xmas decorations all over it, obviously indulging in some bush Lotto.
They were happy enough to give us some directions that eventually bought us out onto Maria River Rd close enough to Crescent Head to make the run into town for some food.
Here are some pics we took.
Moose negotiating one of the numerous bog holes.
And another,
Caption,,,Hurry up Moose and take the pic before a croc gets me.
Another shot of a nice place and a bike in its element.
Once we hit the main road there was about 15km of tar to Crescent Head so we went there to get a burger and a drink.
From there it was just a matter of running back down the Plomer Rd to Port Macquarie.
Here is Moose on one section of the Plomer Rd, I didn’t get many pics of the good sections as I was to busy riding them..LOL
Us at Point Plomer.

Hitting the ferry signals the end of the real fun and it was a 25km run on the tar back to Mooses’ for a couple of beers as it was getting pretty bloody hot by then.Some ferry shots
For what was realy a spur of the moment decision to go for a ride turned out to be a great day. But then again every day is a great day if you live here!!
And people make fun of my Jersey lol
Zebra Boy!!
