Went out and found a suitable parking location for 40+ cars today. Mal5.1 took the Bemmer I was on the trusty NX. We scouted the locations and some tracks. Got a little inspired by the yellow NX’s camel videos :laugh:
Had lunch at Mt Vic pub and a beer at Blackheath Pub before we went our seperate ways
Will add to Mal’s ride report when he does one :laugh:

Will get the directions etc for the start location typed up and ready for sending later

Don’t know if I will be able to make this ride now. Was given the arse at work today after 24 years at the company due to a lack of work(bastards). Notice given at 8.30am, had a new job sorted by 9.30am. Start Monday week but the 1st assignment will be in Melbourne fixing up there big ferris wheel thingy for a few weeks. Hopefully I will be back in time though, don’t count me out yet.

BUMMER!!!!!! At least you can stay in OZ and ride more now.

Last time I saw that ferris wheel in October it looked like more than a few weeks worth of work fixing it. :laugh:

I caught up with the Celebrity rider in question today while he was having a drink between stages and it appears as though he will be on this ride which is fantastic news

Hi Trailboss

I`m hoping to join the May 2010 ride. I have just bought a 2002 WRF 250 . I have little practice at starting the bugger as all my riding in the past has been done on two strokes or electric start trail bikes. I am in my mid fourties and keen to connect with enduro riders in my area.I live in Penrith and am dying to get back on the trail. By the looks of things the ride is more suited to bigger trail bikes. Please let me know if I am welcome to join. Cheers. Rod

Happy 2nd birthday ride

I am using the now spare weekend in May 1st and 2nd to organise a ride from the Zig Zag railway to Sofala. After the weekends ride that Crash, Boulder and I did (Look here) I thought it would be rude to not share some of those trails and use some of the Hill End adventure tour trails (See Here) that people enjoyed so much

So the plan is to leave the the start location at 8am, (start location will be PM’ed at a later date to all riders) that is after you have put your full jery can, swag and food / esky into the support vehicle.

We will ride through some phat twins and singles to Capertee for a snack and fuel. From there through to Sofala, via a fuel dump for a splash and dash for those that require it.
We will hopefully camp on the Turon river close enough to Sofala that we can go to the pub if we want to or need to.

Numbers for the ride will be limited it will cost you $10 to have your gear and fuel carried by the support vehicles that is not neg (what they choose to do with money if they dont want it etc is their business)

The next days ride will have some of day ones trails re ridden between Sofala and Capertee but after Capertee it will be mostly different trails.

We will refuel at Capertee on the way home and have lunch.

The weekend will be between 300 to 400kms

All these details and the rider list will be repeated in the lock events and dates forum

Mate, Don`t worry about the BIGGER BIKE thing,,,
I attend most of these weekends on my `04 KLX250 :laugh:

OBT isn`t about the fastest or best bikes & riders etc, it is about getting amongst it with great people
I`m sure TB will answer your question on the trip ASAP (think he is enroute to Brisbane at the moment for work)

Enjoy yourself on here mate, it is easy to do :woohoo:

Hey rodwolhuter as Lotsa is busted up and not riding your in like Flynn. You can share a jerry can with Justo I will get justo to PM you and you guys can sort it out.

Pack a swag, some piss and some tucker to go in the support vehicle and happy days. The WR will go fine and you have a choice of routes on either day

I will update the lists here
