well we had our ride on Tuesday and Wednesday.
We set off from Blackheath early in the morning and ended up in Kelso for the night.
via Cullen Bullen and Sofala.
The second day saw us making our way back to Blackheath via Janolan Caves.
All up I think we covered about 550Km’s which I know is not a lot compared to some rides but it was enough for us.
As I said in the original post I haven’t been on a dirt bike in about 15 years and Mal has had very limited experience off road, (almost none).
To his credit TB was very patient with us. He kept saying he was enjoying himself because he usually goes through the same places at a greater speed and now he had a chance to actually look around. He even was able to bullshit to us with a smile on his face. :cheer:
The impression that TB left on Mal was pretty strong he mentioned something about finding a new person to stalk. 😆
I could not fault the little WR’s. They were great and the perfect bike for what we were doing. The set up with the suspension, gearing etc was very impressive.
We had a good mix of dirt roads, tight tracks and some very challenging slow sections. Even the sealed roads we had to ride on were all twisties and fast sweepers.
There were a couple of off’s but I think given our lack of experience that was to be expected.
Early on day one I even managed to get TB to fix my back wheel. I was not paying too much attention but he removed the wheel, broke the seal on the tyre and reset it and replaced every thing in what seemed like less than ten minutes. We were at a servo in Capertee and believe it or not they did not have an air pump so Greg had to inflate the tyre manually.
So far everyone I have spoken to after the ride are sick of listening to me carry on about it.
Was it good? no it was great.
I can not recommend RideADV enough they are very professional and TB made sure we had the best possible time.
If any one is looking to do some thing like this then you need to get in contact with RideADV.
TB has some pictures so hopefully he will be along to put some up soon.
