Just don’t take ” Death Gully” :laugh: :laugh:

PTW

No laughing matter stuck in a gully for about an hour thinking I was going to have to push the help ( not 000 but other help) button on my spot took an hour to get up! As steep as the tiger trail Jacko going in couldn’t stop other side worse never dropped it but did it pushing and riding multiple attempts and in small segments

New Tenere, stock besides a set of 606’s, pivots and barkys. On that the spring rates etc must have changed because while not awesome it is much better when ridden sensibly then ours were when new.

I was speaking with TB tonight and he has been pre running more of the route.

It’s looking like a great route with some awesome trails and for the just incase scenario TB has said that it would be best if we all could have at least one Spot Tracker in each group, the route will take us to some areas without phone service.

This is shaping up to be an absolute ripper of a ride :woohoo:

I will have mine onboad, so Me & Ace will be covered (as well as anyone else that wants to tag along with us I suppose) The more Trackers we have the merrier really on these sort of rides …

That`s great,,, no need for the big bladder for me
I can almost cover all those legs with the standard tank (plus a splash here & there) …

I plan to travel a bit lighter this time :whistle:

Thanx for the heads up

Here is a preview for you peeps. I havent named rivers or tracks, there a few spots s few of you should know

There are a few hints about somethings, and there is a section thats in the video that isnt in the route. A special mention for you Wiggy

Looks great in 1080 showing how good the GoPro black 3 is if you can let it load.
