Hi BJ,
would love to come on the run on Sunday (weather permitting) if you think I’m ready. I’ll be totally honest.
I used to be a pretty fair (but not FAST) trail/pseudo trials rider back when. But I havent popped a front wheel in twenty years.
I have had a Honda postie on a junk mail run for six months. This is substantially off the tar, so I have regained a little off road smarts.
Last monday I bought a xr250L and have taken to it easily. I have ridden it every day (a little dirt) since, extending myself further every time.
I feel comfortable, but am well aware of the skills that I havent yet regained. That said, I feel up for whatever the terrain throws up, its just the speed that remains to be seen. I am not, never was and dont wish to be an Enduro rider or MXer.

I’ll have to ride the 30 odd clicks down to Albatross (and back for that matter) on new knobbies so I’m sensitive to the weather.

What do you think?

I am patient – I know there’ll be other rides.
Steve

Hi Steve, your welcome to come along mate, this is what these grade 2 rides are all about.

We have a competent and patient sweep rider to assist where ever required, there will be a few sections that will challenge, but hey…give it go, if you have no luck getting through a certain section, we’ll all pitch in to help.

It looks like only a small group is coming along, so even better for those just starting to get their feet wet.

Look forward to seeing you on Sunday.

cheers.

Weather reports are worse every time I check.
I’m prepared to give it till Sunday morning, but it doesnt look good for me.
Been raining all day here at Gerringong, and its not meant to get any better.
