I am super keen to go this ride but cannot take a week off work. Could do up to Wauchope and pull out there.

Acceptable to the Ride ADV gods or nay?

That will be fine wiggy. For the ease of paper work and insurance we are offering 3 different rides as such.

1 / Sydney to Brisbane
2 / Sydney to Nambucca
3/ Nambucca to Brisbane

Basically if ARRANGED its flexible, we have a guy joining from Nundle to the finish so he is taking number one. If you only wanted to go to Nundle you would take number 2

Anyway yes is the answer :laugh:

Photos from day one

Under the Story bridge about 8 am

About 70kms out of Brisbane we crossed this creek / river onto the dirt

Crossed the border more than once actually

Heading south

Stayed at the Woodenbong Pub, bloody unbelievable feed and cheap! To many ciders but, that’s Moose’s fault :whistle:

Time to gear up, enjoy

So two days in the Moose and I are in Tenterfield tonight. It’s been two awesome days thus far, we have seen the World War Two tank traps on the Clarence River, water falls, wicked singles (far more than Nundle) tracks and trails into the distance, closed tracks, open roads, rain forest tracks and I have watched Moose rail the WR.
The bikes haven’t missed a beat.

Spot page for today

TB, did you get any grief from the locals on the road between Drake and Tenterfield? I’ve heard it referred to as rocky river road but I think its actually long gully road.

I went down there a couple of years ago and quite a few of the locals come out shaking fists and one of them in an oncoming 4WD played a little chicken with us.

Its a public road but I’m guessing there had been a few idiots going down there at a not so reasonable pace (given live stock etc.) and upsetting them.

Shows how steep it is
