Happy Birthday Boulder. Have a good as gold day mate
Silence is golden
Bloody hell thats a lot of work. I think a chainsaw would have been a quicker fix
Better late than never I guess.
My weekend started on Thursday Morning when I geared up and rode to Oldfatbeerman’s place where we loaded up the ute and hit the road for the long drive to Jindabyne.
Ready to ride
Loaded on the ute
On the road
We were passed by Big Pete with the rideadv.com.pre-run bikes
Eventually we came to Lake Jindabyne and found our hotel
‘’’’’ and one of these.
The brains trust hard at it loading GPS’s
While the rest of us hung around drinking, eating and talking.
The following morning the predicted low temperatures had arrived
But at least the skies were fairly clear so no rain to worry about yet.
On the road
Omeo was our first nights destination
A hearty breakfast to start the next days ride over Mt Hotham.
Before long our first look at the light snow that was falling.
Warming up around the fire pit was popular
As was rugging up against the cold
Once we got down the mountain a way the air cleared and we rolled into Dargo in what where almost summer type temperatures or so it seemed after the cold.
TB organized some fresh beef for lunch
After lunch we headed for The Little River Inn at Ensay, our home for the night.
One of the bunk houses.
Getting ready to head off into the wet in the morning
And out into the wet
Smoko time.
And back to Jindabyne
Then back on the road for the long trip home.
I think everyone was a bit disappointed that the much anticipated Blue rag part of the trip had to be cancelled with nobody more disappointed than TB himself but there is not much that can be done about the weather. But at least that gives me a reason to go back again.
A big thanks go to TB and those that helped with the prerun and organizing. Also to the sweeps and support drivers. Also to the sponsor Adventure Moto, of course thanks go also to Al for giving me a lift down and back again and to all who attended and made it an enjoyable weekend. It was my first time in the high country and I hope not my last.
