    yeah I think the two man system is the go.I too have spent ages in the bush on my own waiting for some problem to be sorted. It takes the fun out of it but if you have someone with you it helps pass the time. It also gives you a chance to have a yak with other riders in the group.

    Sounds a whole lot like the ride we had the day before, Losta had just as many flats as I did,lucky he didn’t have a bee bite to the face to contend with as well. No wonder Losta PMed me yesterday asking where to get heavy duty 17″ tubes. :laugh:

    Great report, we should work out a route one weekend where the Nth Coast crew and you guys could hook up to explore the Barringtons a bit.

    Afraid your wrong their Al!! :laugh:

    Major Innes’ wife was French and bought it over to make an ornamental hedge in their garden, not knowing it was going to spread and rip the skin off trailriders nose’s !!

    So like all pommies say ‘ Blame the bloody french’ :laugh:

    I’m afraid that both Nick and Al are wrong, Major Iness Married Margaret McLeay, a Scottish girl.
    So you can blame the Scots.
    They are both buried in Port Macquarie, every time I come home from Trail riding with Lantana scratches I feel like going over and kicking her gravestone arse over head. :laugh:

    Back on topic, well done Boony, someone has to do it, as there is no such thing as the trail cutter fairies. ;)

    Righto, the northern guys route.

    Leaving the Timbertown log at 8.30am, we will head through Bago SF on some fire trails and a couple of easy singles, then through the Lorne State forest to Comboyne Rock. (if it is a nice day, if not we will give the Rock a miss and head through Elkhorn Rock road.One of my most favourite trails.
    We will bypass Comboyne township through a property that has a cracker view( I call it shaggers rest). From there it is 24kms of main gravel road to Elands and Elenborough Falls. (Approx 80km) Back to Elands Store for refreshments and fuel. (not sure about eftpos so bring cash). From there we go across the Bulga Plateau to Blue Knob Lookout and depending on time we may slip down into the Cells for a quick loop through Blue Mountain creek Road. Then it is onto Nowendoc road via Dingo Tops.WE will probably meet the Tamworth guys here. A quick run through 6kms of nice tight corners on the tar, we will be back onto the gravel headed for Bundook and Krambach Approx 80km, Krambach is the fuel stop and a beer at the Krambach Hotel before we do the last short section to Nabiac.

    I haven’t worked out which way to come home yet and I am open to suggestions.

    are we meeting at tiri road intersection?????

    If that suits Boony, when you get there you will need at least 30kms of fuel. to get to Krambach. Otherwise we can meet at Mt George which should have fuel..

    BUGGER… I cracked a rib while riding out of Araluen last weekend. Apparently I was out cold for a while and my mates were already divvying up the spoils :P So I won’t be riding on Saturday but Andy and Glenn who I rode with on the weekend will and I will come up Saturday for a beer. I was looking forward to riding Hampton as well! :(

    BUGGER, I know how much a cracked rib hurts, it will definately keep you off the bike but not the nest ;) :laugh:
