That’s it, I’m gonna try to get a couple of days of this ride in now.
Thanks for the heads up Strucky.
Happy birthday Bol!!
Hope it’s a goodun’
Day two saw us ride what is in my new favourite track. The Abercrombie Forest had the right amount of everything – Steep accents, steep decents, wooboys, woohooboys, fast open sections, no dust and once again some awesome scenery. :woohoo:

The company was great and James and i kept a steady relaxed pace for the entire day. The tracks allowed you to have some fun on the bike and make up time where it was required.
There was a water crossing, i dont know where – you went down a grassy bank into the creek, turned sharp right through the water then along the slippery bank on the other side only to have to go up the shitty, muddy, slippery slope on the other side. James and i watched as a poor bloke on a Kato nearly drowned his steed. I was completly pscyched out by the whole thing with both the Beemer and me trembling at what lay ahead of us. Then, like a scene out of The Man from Snowy River ol’ mate on a BMW1200 sails past me, down the bank, through the water and up the other side without a care in the world.
With my new found inspiration, i shut my eyes, pointed the 800 in the right direction and wound on the gas…next thing you know, i up up the other side sucking in the big ones and thanking the bike gods that i didnt have to de-water the big girl. :S
I had a great second day. Here are some more shots what we took in.

A big thanks to James also, great company mate. Thanks.
I made every excuse i could to get away from work early and managed to leave only half an hour late..not much to do…scoot home, fit new rear tyre, pack all riding gear, load bike, double check everything, triple check everything…all good to go :woohoo:
Picked James up and headed to Mittagong for a much needed weekend on the bike.
It was great to catch up with the regulars and glad to hear that wiggy survived what could of been a hell of a lot worse accident on the M5 – glad to hear you are okay mate and a real shame you couldnt go on this ride.
We started off and after a small section of black top the fun began. we went through the hole in the wall and made our way into the pine forests.

The pine forest kept me on my toes all day with the slippery conditions making it tough to keep the bike upright!
I managed to catch this shot of James struggling with the same conditions…this was a different kind of frozen, icy clay slippery crap. One minute your up enjoying the view and the next minute…

and if you didnt catch that…

That night we told tales of the day and enjoyed a few beers :whistle: It was good to meet some new members and put faces to names.
Day two – coming soon
Happy birthday Boulder. Great way to celebrate being away on an adventure ride.
See you on the next one.
Just what I needed… A weekend on the bike.
Great weather, great trails, great company!
Full RR to follow but in summary it went like this…cold, slippery, awesome scenery, fantastic trails, beer…cold, slippery, awesome scenery, fantastic trails, beer!! What more could a man want?
