    Before I confirm I have a couple of questions. Where abouts is Zig Zag and where will we be leaving the cars?

    Jeffro, the starting point is at the Zig Zag railway on the bells line rd at Clarence near Lithgow. We park the cars in the car park of the railway, have never had a problem and have left them there overnight before.

    Jeffro you are welcome to come to my place at Blaxland on the morning of the ride and leave your car here and you can get a ride with me as I have spot on my trailer.

    Blaxlands is near Penrith

    Sounds like a hoot! Kieron is now my favourite for letting me have his bed :P

    Pizzas sound great too (probably because I’m starving right now), I’ll be good on the beers. I’m saving the beers for the ride day as Tracy wants to drive :P

    [color=]Moved Ride Details One spot open[/color]

    The ride has been moved from this thread http://www.obtrailriders.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&Itemid=56&func=view&catid=14&id=11624&limit=30&limitstart=30#13748

    The new ride will leave the Zig Zag railway carpark at 8am on sat the 31st of Jan, we will go to the Lost City, through the Black Fellows Hand Track, Capertee, Turon River crossings, across to Dark Corner, Sunny Corner and Yetholme for fuel and lunch. Then across the Poo track, down Mt Horrible and onto the Turon, through the Phat Track and to Sofala for a beer and fuel from the support vehilce and the run to Hillend.
    Sunday will be Hillend to Sofala, across the to Kandos, back down the the railway service track to Capertee, across to the back of Cullen Bullen and back through the the Zig Zag for the finish.

    There will still be Moto in the support vehilce to carry our bags etc as before.

    We still have the the whole Royal Hotel booked the in HillEnd that weekend, cost of $680.00 this works out to be $34 each if all 20 turn up still.

    The original list of attendees has been transferred and names will be ticked of as you let us know if you will still be coming

    Moto is driving the support vehicle with Chop’s 5″ x 8″ box trailer, the support vehicle is to carry our bags (Back pack size only please)and should we have a breakdown or injury.

    Please read the below and have your bike ready for you and everybody on the ride

    With the distance that this ride will cover all bikes that attend the ride will need to be mechanically sound.

    All riders will need to carry on them

    1 x new Chain joining link

    1 x Front tube, front tube can be used in the front or rear

    1x Spark plug

    Please check your bikes over and cover the basics as it affects everybody, we all know stuff happens and that’s trail riding but I just want avoid silly things cropping up.
    Basics include
    Tyres, chain, sprockets, wheel brgs, spokes, cable ends, etc,

    There will plenty of guys there with tyre levers, pumps, nuts, bolts, wire, chain breakers, cable ties, plug spanners tape and bits and pieces so don’t stress if you don’t have those things, but bring them if you do and be self sufficient.

    If you can pack a spare air filter with your chain lube and pack it in your bag and let the service vehicle take it, then if its dusty you can change it rather than clean it. (supercheap auto sell pre oiled for most bikes for $14.99 or there abouts)
    One final thing can all bikes have heavy duty tubes fitted, ultra heavy duty are better but heavy duty will do.
    We are leaving Corranbong at 6.30am saturday morning! Sorry but it has to be 6.30 because of the distance we have to cover, please dont be late

    This thread will be updated so keep checking it, all questions and requests to be added or have you name confirmed please use the other Corranbong to Hillend expressions of interest / 31stJan – 1st Feb thread

    Everybody with standard size fuel tanks need to refuel twice from Jerry Cans carried by the support vehilce.
    If we can get 8, 20 litre Jerry cans and people can buddy up and share a Jerry can we only have to carry 8 Jerry cans.

    Those that we know will have big tanks fitted are

    Chicken 24L
    Boulder 25L
    TB 16.5L

    Is the anyone else?, if so let us know please, if you have a 20L Jerry can please bring it along and we will sort out the number we need and who can share them on the morning. Note leave Jerry can enpty, you can fill them at Yetholme, that way Moto has got to cart them all day full for no reason.

    With a support vehilce to load and trailer etc to check ready on the morning can you please get to the starting point as early as possible.

    Cheers and please keep checking this thread for updates

    Hi TB

    I haven’t been to the site for a while and found this ride last night. I was wondering if there is a reserve list I could get if some drops out? Sounds like a great ride and I’m a sucker for a night at any Pub.

    I rode to Hill End for an over nighter about four years ago with some guys from Bathurst/Orange through a lot of private farms. Great stuff.

    Cheers
