Hey man,

Our ride to the OBT birthday bash was interesting without being too hard
I can shoot you through the GPX log if you want. Do you have a GPS?

See here http://www.obtrailriders.com/index.php/forum?view=topic&catid=78&id=131954

or a ride to willawarren was slightly more strenuous.

See here http://www.obtrailriders.com/index.php/forum?view=topic&catid=78&id=131502

or the Barringtons

See here http://www.obtrailriders.com/index.php/forum?view=topic&catid=78&id=130944

Or Nundle

see here http://www.obtrailriders.com/index.php/forum?view=topic&catid=78&id=115463

Just pick a destination where you can get a coldie and a detour for a Latte

I dont think ive been on The barrington trail.
The Geales Ridge Rd runs north from the Scone Road just after Cobark on the Gloucester side of the Tops.

Further north still is the Tomalla Rd & Curricabark Rd which join are also must do’s if your in that area.

G’Day PTW,

See if you can find the Thunderbolts trail that leads to Geales Ridge Rd this brings you down to The Barrington main rd. This is apparently locked some times but is supposed to be open and use to be the main access road across the tops.

Even if the gate is locked it would be a fantastic ride back as it is seldom used and is leaf littered and tunnelled in sections with trees.

PM me with your email address and Ill send you some GPS tracks we did on the run Lotsa broke his collar bone on last October

You cannot go wrong with the Camelback bladder & bite valve.
I went for the cheaper brands as I liked the different style of backpacks, but now I buy what pack I like and buy the Camelback bladder separate.

Kriega is a good system which have good add on capabilities. But the Bite vale lets it down.

I like the look of the woolfman and will check it out nextime

Many thanks to all. My face is still sore from laughing the whole weekend.

The experience of a group like this is awesome in its entirety. From hardened and weathered riders to relatively newcomers. Even the sick and injured had a smile on their dial.

A few pics and points of interest
Tryhard for keeping me awake on the way up and putting up with the banjo music
Everybody putting up with Tryhard
An amusing Friday night with Mackas now giving out Port Glasses
Tryhards turtle story from Thailand
The Thai food snack sampler
The effects of the Thai food sampler. Mickp went a lot faster.
The Ride, The Ride, The Ride
Catching up with all the old faces & the new

The newest best asset to my attire. The Adventure Moto neck warmer beanie. Thanks Steve. How awesome is this.

Steve seamed stumped at the prospect of …… NO BEER !

Watching the Farrier romp off in the distance on the wrong track and knowing there is no chance of catching him.
Puddles endurance and determination skill, to get out alive and with a sense of humour. All the best mate.
Being chased by Ace up the hill on the final section on the Sat arvo loop and being blown away that he could manhandle the beast over the erosion humps and that rate of knots.
Tryhard for taking on the embankment at the awesome lookout. Dropping everybodys jaw. and riding down it again
Scala G4 Communication gets two thumbs up. The G9 works well with the G4’s as well. The comments running through the entire weekend are still evoking an involuntary grin on my face.
The good choice of accommodation

The awesome Lookout

The scenery

Good Mates

Mickp

Tryhard

Who need beer for a good time?

Pies were good. Best Mongolian Lam pie this side of Ulaanbaatar, Hey John.

Apple Pie with a small scoop of ice cream

Thanks again TB and Crew and OBT – Adventure Moto – Yamaha – & The Minister for Finance & Fun Police.

Wahooo

I had a Sandvik brand folding Bush Saw which I carried for a lot of years and it was extremely good. It got a lot of use on the trail and at home

It was similar to this one
http://www.google.com.au/imgres?sa=X&biw=1920&bih=955&tbm=isch&tbnid=EBDQzUUM0mRWtM:&imgrefurl=http://www.bahco.com/&docid=QPg5Frq4XVOfBM&imgurl=http://www.bahco.com/english/images/products/pruning_saws_163_sm.jpg&w=208&h=156&ei=sVQEUrGtNYaFlAXyxYHYCA&zoom=1&ved=1t:3588,r:91,s:0,i:360&iact=rc&page=3&tbnh=124&tbnw=164&start=79&ndsp=47&tx=85&ty=62

Lately I bought a cheap copy from bunnings, it isnt usless, but the Sandvik was 100% better. It didnt get stuck in the green wood and always seemed very sharp.

Good things about the folding type are :
Compact
Wont destroy your back pack
Dont stab you when you fall on it
