Gentlemen, it seems I am now required to work on the Friday and Saturday morning :angry:
So I’ll only be able to ride Sunday.
I’ll be heading up to Nundle as soon as I finish work and will be there to meet the triumphant on their return.
Sorry about the late notice, it was late notice for me too.
I hope this doesn’t cause any organisational problems. Can’t wait for Sunday though.

Day two and we were greeted by a perfect winters day. Not a cloud in the sky, cool temps and perfect riding conditions. I was even feeling far better than I had any right to expect. I was really looking forward to the day ahead as our group had missed yesterdays Nambucca Valley trails and I was keen as mustard to see what what was in store for us.
Mick had been relieved of his Sweep duties and had joined our crew making it Fossil, Mick, Toes, Moose and Myself. The shenanigans of the night before had taken its toll and it was a quite sedate start as we turned of the highway into some great trails only a short distance from our accommodation. The early morning found us climbing up the valley along some beautiful twin trail through stunning rain forest. The trails were sweet and flowing with erosion mounds thrown in for good fun. It wasn’t too long before the group seemed to find its mojo. There was a couple of stunning lookout spots along this part of the ride with clear views across the mountains right back to the coast.
What ever goes up must come down and down was in the form of Jacobs Ladder. It was a down hill that kept going and going with erosion mounds thrown in for extra fun. It reminded me a bit of some of decents in the high country rides. I hadn’t been down it before but it won’t be my last visit. Once we hit the bottom I wanted to turn around and have a go at climbing it. Then it was off to the Pub With No Beer to get the dust out of our throats.
On leaving Taylors Arm I thought we might follow some of the sweeping dirt country roads for awhile, but I was wrong. Almost straight out of town we turned left into another fantastic twin trail that wound its way along a beautiful rocky creek. This track was a cracker with everything you could want on an ADV bike and we followed the purple line until we hit Fredo just north of Kempsey.
I live at Crescent Head so it was at this point I departed company with the rest of my riding crew and headed home very happy with my two days on my bike. The good news for me is that I still have the purple line on my GPS so I’ll be out there very soon following the rest of the trails I missed on my way to visit the rest of the Wauchope Mafia.
I really enjoyed the mix of tracks this ride threw at us and must say a big thanks to TB and the crew for putting it together. It takes a lot of work to organise a ride like this and once again you’ve excelled. You can’t please all the folk all the time but I was stoked with the ride.
I would also like to say thanks to Steve from Adventure Moto for helping to get our injured comrade, puddles, safely back to help and hospital
I would also like to express my appreciation for his on-going support and generosity. Every time I’ve been on a ride and Steve has attended he donates heaps of stuff. I was lucky enough to get one of his Tee Shirts and a Head Sock on this ride so thanks again Steve.Thanks also to my riding crew and get well soon Puds.

What a top ride and a great weekend.
I thought the tracks were DR 6fiddy heaven and there was a fantastic mix. Leaving Breakenridge on Saturday morning I really wasn’t expecting to head south. But South we went and straight into some great Bago tracks that set the tone for the day :woohoo:
Plommer Road is always fun and it was the driest I have seem the whoops for years. Dry whoops also meant dry, fluffy and deep sand. But that didn’t slow Toes as he passed me then moose. Not one to pass up a challenge Moose was after him and the dice between them lasted for the rest of the day :laugh:
I loved the tracks in the Upper Macleay Valley. There’s hills, rocks, slippery sections and a couple of the tracks we used really are ADV bike singles. Hats off to the guys that rode the bigger bikes. Our team suffered a man down through this section with Puddles breaking his foot. As our team stopped for a re-group news filtered through that Ace and Eagle were helping him through to us. Top job gentlemen
Puddles new there was no other choice but to ride out and that’s exactly what he did. We were by no means out of the tricky stuff either. There were still a couple of decent down hill sections to test Pud’s front brake only skills. :sick: Once out into more open trails Wolfman came to the recue. Top job Steve and it shows how important it is to have a recovery vehicle on hand.
As we had now missed the time cut off period for the second half of the day’s route there was no other choice for us but to high-tail-it to Nambuccu and begin the nights activites.
It may come as a surprise to some, but I quite enjoy my evenings away with the boys and this was a cracker. As soon as Moose put the slab of Extra Dry stubbies on his lap and rode up the highway, I had a feeling things might get a bit loose :whistle: The King was in Royal form and kepts us in stitches with his wit and his antics. Moose and I really wanted to turn in but felt it our duty to our monarch to make sure he remained safe and well so stayed in his service until stumps :blush:

Fuchsy, mine does it too.
I’m told it is the valve stem seals. Once warm it’s fine and it doesn’t use any oil. I took it to Cape Yorke and back and the oil level hadn’t changed.
Kram
Yep Sure are. And Can’t wait.
Just hadn’t heard about it and thought it might be a possibility.
Thanks
Kram
