    Hi TB.
    Is it OK that I asked a friend (potential member) along?
    The pace & difficulty wont be a problem for him.

    Thats fine WB, its leaving from near Bathurst now couple of posts back

    TB

    Oh, I missed that, I thought it was still near Lithgow.
    It is very unlikely we will be going now knowing Rob, so count us out please.

    Have a good ride and dont forget make some pictures for us.

    G’day TB, not getting much local support here due to the potential road miles your hinting at. How many K’s of actual “road” or fast fire trail are we talking about?
    Cheers

    Axel I dont know the klms that we have to transport. The Bridle trail is fairly open but fun. The start of the Hillend to Long Point is about 5 kms bitumen and then about the same dirt road then the fun twin trail and the grid jumps start, there is another bit of dirt road to get into the single trails in Mullion creek which we will be riding for about 4 hrs etc

    Going back

    After a nice counter lunch we will go out to the sweet almost unused singles out the back of Clifton Grove for a couple of hours then head back through Ophir. The section from Ophir to the top of Root Hog ridge is some dirt road but from there to Root Hog crossing is a challenge and so is the crossing itself

    Look its what it is if you dont come you can read the report and see if you like it and next time join in if you like in :)

    Had to rename this ride as we moved the start point

    We will ride the bridle trail to Hillend 40 odd kms, top up the fuel and ride out across long point and up into Mullion Creek State Forest for some of the below

    Then into Orange for fuel and maybe a counter lunch

    Out into Kinross State forest for some of this

    And then over through Roothog Crossing and back down the bridle trail to the cars

    Will be twin trails, open singles, tight singles, one short dirt road, the Bridle trail and the bitumen into and out of Orange.

    Well with Boulder’s work commitments and justo pulling out it looks for all the world like a very hard days ride with very few stop at a good hard pace

    OK TB, have been negotiating here for a solution.
    Have yet to ask if Rocket wants to come, will ring him tonight.

    I have myself and a ride buddy confirmed with a proposed plan for us:

    As far as I understand your route, your coming from Hill End to Mullion State Forest partway through your ride. Ride the forest then ride into Orange for Lunch. From Orange ride out to Kinross for some nice mountain bike trails (mmmm).

    Due to the long drive from Dubbo, and because our 2 smokers hate transport riding, we propose to wait at Mullion Creek Forest on the side that you lads are coming from at a pre-determined time and place. We ride with you guys in there and to Orange and back out. We will end our ride after the Kinross forest section when you guys head back to Bathurst somehow. Basically the best bits.

    If, we don’t meet up at that time then so be it. Separate rides it is.

    Is this a possibility or against OBT ride policy? :) :)
