    just saw the shake and bake trailer heading towards narramine wonder if that was boulders rescue squad

    #210377

    I see they are back at Silverton now anyway. I am pretty sure they all trailered to that point anyway so no rescue trailer required I would think.

    No recovery required Rocket, ADV riders are self recovering and still ride the night after a big nite on the piss :laugh:

    Nah Jeffro Fish towed Boulder down the slab for the last 400, Krusty and Gaz slabbed also.
    Nick, DeeJay, Lotsa, Mickp and myself took the deep sand and 54 gate option dirt to the end ride and still beat them to the pub in Silverton

    More later heaps more.

    Am in the jump seat going through Bathurst at the minute looking forward to getting home. Deejay and I are going riding Monday on the single trail bikes who’s coming :woohoo:

    Krusty and Gaz chose to ride back with the brothers in case there were any other dramas as each time the group split we seemed to have one drama or another… It wasn’t all slab as 1/3 of the 340k still provided an opportunity for something to go wrong at 90-110 km h towing a bike… Making sure the boys got back to Silverton safely and had backup seemed to be the right thing to do than the deep sand and 54 gates option……..
