Oh YEah,,,
Sorry I forgot one of Gavs mates couldn`t make it & we were left with 14 riders plus one Pillion (Dave`s 10yo son Lachlan) He went like a champion all day too the little fella
He even cut down TB at the Convict Bridge with some quick witted remarks,,,,, something about “Lazy People” :laugh:

That run is always a fun day out,, just some Old Buls having a ride, feed & a Beer or two

Wow the great ride weekends just keep on coming, last weekend the bridle trail, Hillend, etc and then a two dayer with Eags, Kat and crew.

So I thought I would make a decent ride to Eags, so a quick post and got me a travel partner for Saturday, a loop planned and away we go. I got up Saturday morning and it was cold, fark I thought whose idea is this :laugh: The ride out to Windsor to meet Kat confirmed it was as cold as I have ever been on a motorbike :ohmy: I got to Windsor and fueled, grabbed a red bull and waited for Kat. I took a picture and posted using my Ipad as I was trialing my travel case

Once she turned up got a coffee, stopped swearing :laugh: we left and rode out to Colo river, a left and we followed the river to the bridge to cross and run the dirt to Colo Heights. We stopped on the bridge and Kat says “why have they painted the bridge in the shade white” :laugh: :laugh: really Its ice / frost Kat

Yup it was bloody cold

So we found some sun for Kat to thaw out, she needs different gloves and maybe heated grips, a screen

Its a nice place for a summer trip, I couldnt talk Kat into a swim, she told me to do something un-natural to myself :ohmy:

Off we went up to Colo where Kat put 5 litres in the XR and we left, not far we ventured of the black top again and explored some of my fav tracks, checking of ins and outs for future use. The soft sand was interesting eh Kat

We got to Putty and headed bush to do a big 140km loop back to Howe’s Valley, we had heaps of fallen trees to get over or around

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KogAMk2IPqk

Once we got through that we crossed the Putty rd and started along the Yengo track. Here is Kat coming up the rollers, its steeper than it looks

It was none stop, actually we only stopped twice really all the way to Wollembi, a stop of anytime really. Start to Wollembi Pub

Once we had a Bundy each we trucked off straight to Beags place. We stopped at the bottle shop and Beags had the door up and ready when we rolled up. We sat around the shed and drank, had a few actually and inhaled a pizza :laugh:

Next day when I was woken by a over excited Beags, yeah wakes me at FARKING 5am for a 7am start, from his place where we are at!!!! He is there in his gear bar boots waiting, as exciting as a dog with two dicks !!!!!

I went down stairs and saw these little boots and thought Lefty had fronted up :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Still getting ready

Eventually we leave Beags place, thanks Beags and family for putting us up

We got to Freemans and soon a crowd turned up, yeah ADV riding isnt any good

We rode from there out through the tracks Nickj and I had been through a month or so ago but they have been made into a 4X4 track now not the singles they were

Before

Still lots of fun

Choot got bogged in the same spot Nickj did, couldnt get the camera out before he got out but it was the same as Nick so here is Nick, was exactly the same

From there it was a good run down to St Alburns, from there up to the lookout which was a rocky shitty testing track for a loaded ADV bike, but fun. Saw the big 690 lie down, rode around it actually :laugh:

Up the lookout

From there I split, Krusty came along and I turned it up to the pace I ride with Nick, it was none stop, just get to an intersection wait and make sure Krusty can see which way and go. We wound up to Colo, down to Colo river and at to Bilpin all on dirt. 5 kms and back onto the dirt, from there an 18km run to a locked gate!!!!! WTF that wasnt part of the plan, turn around and rode out of the valley. Once back on the black stuff to the Pie in the Sky blue mountain style. Quick pie and I bailed leaving Krusty, once up to Kurrajong I took a 4×4 track to the river and headed home

Thanks to all involved, thanks again Beags and family, I have started planning a family weekend down here already Kat you ride at a good pace stop saying you are slow :angry:
