    The sit and stay system we use is a good one I feel, it really requires that everyone is familiar with it to make it work though. I actually like getting a turn on a corner and watching everyone go by,especially in big groups.
    The other nod and go system, I am not so keen on ,as I have experienced first hand, when it breaks down and been lost to the wilderness for over an hour at Coffs Harbour. The fella in front of me presumed I was still behind him and followed the pack down a left turn and ol Mick just went straight ahead,it wasn’t till I noticed no knobbie marks on the road,that I realised I was seperated from the pack.
    Once I realised I was lost, I slowly back tracked,staying as far to the left as possible, to the last place I knew the group had seen me and sat and waited. Which is a policy I also think we should adopt should you realise you are lost to the pack..

    I am on to it. I can map an awesome duel sport ride from Gloucester to Wauchope. Via Bobin,Elands, Elenborough Falls, Comboyne, Toms Creek, Kindee and on to Wauchope. I will leave Rutzilla out of it though….LOL

    AS promised.
    Gloucester to Wingham Via the Bucketts Way 52 km tar road, turn left into Gloucester road, 13km tar to Wingham . Get fuel at Wingham
    Wingham to Elands and Ellenborough Falls Via Bobin 38km mainly gravel road.

    When leaving Ellenborough Falls, turn left and head back the way you came, once back into the township of Elands, turn left into Colling Road following the signs to Comboyne,
    Elands to Comboyne, approx 26km Gravel road.
    Just after you get back on the tar (3km),look for a left turn called Innes View rd, there is a sign directing you to Boorganna nature reserve at this intersection.
    Continue along Innes View Rd for approx 6 km all the while looking for Toms Creek road turn. It will be on your right and meets Innes View road at 45 degrees on a sweeping left hander.( If you hit gravel road on Innes View you have missed the turn.)
    Follow Toms Creek road to the Oxley Highway (approximately 26 km gravel). Turn right at the Oxley and continue into Long Flat for fuel and food. (about 10km).
    Once you leave Long Flat head back the way you came for about 3km and take the first right hand turn off, to Kindee. 1 km down Kindee road you will cross the Kindee bridge. Another 3 km along Kindee road, Pipeclay road will be on your right, take this turn and follow the road to Beechwood. (about 30 km of gravel road).
    From Beechwood it is 10km of tar to Wauchope.
    A rough calculation of distance 170 km all up.

They have two double rooms

    If it isn’t the 2-3rd of May I could be interested. RiderX would more than likely be keen to.
