As usual an awesome event organised by TB and the crew.
I had a top ride and weekend thanks to all…………. report to follow

[Dave WigginMember]

What a belter of a week end.

Thanks to TB and the crew, especially Trailraider and PTW for sweeping my arse, especially the last hour on Sunday.

At least I gave PTW a good belly laugh at my attempt on Jacobs Ladder. Must be on record as the slowest descent ever. Elegant it was not.

Ride report to follow.

Hahah, I had a great time, and the dust really wasn’t that bad, just my dry sense of humour

It’s the advantage of a nav ride over a normal corner man group ride, you can ride in a smaller group spread out while still enjoying the large group social benifits at stops and camp.

My moto is, you gotter stop and enjoy the scenery

I drove up and visited Strucky this afternoon. He is ok, he hopes to be home this weekend and thanks everyone for their thoughts and wishes. He will be back bigger then ever

He did ask where the ride reports are but for the ride he missed :laugh:

Glad to here Strucky is OK. Sounded like a nasty off. Get well soon Mate!

All right TB, I’ll make a start on my RR.

I was hoping to leave work at 3 on Friday arvo to make the riders briefing and have a couple of relaxed beers. It was not to be as a major drama with an installation for a colourful Kings Cross “identity” meant I didn’t get away till 5.30, but at least I wasn’t sleeping with the fishes, although it looked close at one stage.

Anyway, all hot and flustered I threw my leg over my new Tenere. The twin Barratts barked in to life and I scorched up the road for all of half a k before the usual traffic snarl slowed me right up. Rose Bay, Double Bay, Harbour Tunnel, Pacific Highway all choked with traffic. The sun beat down, the breathability of my Klim jacket was severely tested as I cooked in my own juices. Finally hit the F3 (or whatever they call it these days) at 7.30. This was going to be a long ride.

But least I was heading up to an OBT ride, the new bike purred along at 120, no problems. A bit of air through the jacket and I was much happier. I was really looking forward to testing the Tenere out and catching up with “another set of your mad mates” as my wife calls OBT’s.

But it WAS a long ride. It got dark and then darker. My gps was showing me all sorts of strange directions to get to Breckenridge. I decided to ignore it try and remember the way from last year. I couldn’t remember wether the turn off was after Taree, before Kempsey, did Kempsey come before Taree or was it the other way round. The Pacific Highway is quite a lonely place in the dark when you have had the day from hell and just want to get where your going. Australia is a BIG country, but finally I saw a sign for Wauchope and knew I must be close.

Finally made it to catch the last minute of the riders briefing and neck in double quick time the six pack I had the foresight to buy on the way.

I was pretty tired and hadn’t even started the ride proper yet!

More to come after I have eaten my dinner
