    Cordillo Downs road had TB and I banging bars and sliding all the way!! 
    Some of the old homestead ruins looked like they needed some love from the Boulder brothers stone laying skills !

    The run back to Broken hill was great fun and we dodged rain all day !!

    Boulder being towed 700+ kms by his brother Fish was a massive effort and all because of a lost CDI. But check out Boulders frame !!!!

    Thanks again all for a very memorable ride that I’ve been reliving everyday since.
