Meet at the fire station in Cooranbong at 7:30 for those interested. Otherwise we will be at the camp area by 8:00am. We’ve got rain pretty much up to Sunday so a decent tyre is advised as it can get slippery up there

Should be a good ride guys, I’m looking forward to it, haven’t been on the bike in a month.

I agree 100% but the Sand/clay/mud mix of the Wato’s is probably the worst I have ever come across,especially when riding in all of the single track stuff near the Pines. Those $12 dollar delivered pads are a false economy.

I don’t think I’ll make this ride.

Rode the state enduro tails last weekend……awsome.

I took some pics with my phone and will do a ride report tomorrow or so. Supisingly, only came across one group of three bikes all day.

Being one that has bought those cheap ebay pads I agree that they are nothing but crap. You get what you pay for. I had one ride up the Watto’s similar conditions to what we will get on Sunday and was metal to metal in a couple of hours. I am impressed with the pads that come on the WR, they just seem to last and last. When these ones wear out I am thinking of going genuine Yammie pads as they are so good.
