Sorry I’m a bit late getting a ride report together, things a bit hectic since arriving home. That was an epic weeks riding. I know that the day from Dargo to Jindy I went and thanked T.B for the best days riding I’d ever had.
You’re the man T.B, thanks for everything. Ably assisted by Nick J and Mick P of course.Being late with my report, you blokes have stolen my thunder a bit, you’ve covered things really well. If I’ve got any different piccies I’ll post them up when the Mayor gets home and shows me how.
Kram and I left St Albans ( scene of yet another O.B schoonerfest, complete with a Folk festival! Apparantely some idiot ended up playing guitars and carrying on with the festival folk till the wee small hours, but he can’t remember much so maybe it didn’t really happen) :unsure: in the company of the Boulder Bros. who led us through a nice windy dirt road, complete with grazing bison and heaps of sandstone caves. Top stuff.
Said goodbye to the boys at the black top, then headed north through Laguna, Broke etc. and on to Singleton. That was also good.
Then up the New England to Wallabadah. Boring as. Pity we didn’t see you Mick P, we could have used the moral support by that stage. Then Nundle, Nowendoc to Wingham, where it was now dark as well as cold and raining. An executive decision was made to go over Comboyne as we were really over highways. As we made it intact it must have been a good decision, but there were moments when it was just plain scary stuff. Got to Wauchope and couldn’t talk Kram into taking the ute home and picking the bike up later. Didn’t really expect to. Glad to hear he got home. All good.Big thanks to T.B, Nick and Mick for all you did. Special thanks to Boulder for the way he pitches in at problem times with encouragment and practical advice. Top effort with Krams bike at Bathurst too mate.
Probably the best weeks riding I’ve had in my life, thanks mainly to the company.
Catchya on the trails,
Moose.Just a message to say Moose and Kram made it safely to Wauchope at 7.30pm tonight and Kram is headed for home.
Mrs Moose
PS Hope his chain doesn’t come off or he is on his own.Just arrived home from yet another awesome OBT weekend. Glad we didn’t have to make the trip back to Wauchope last night!
Highlights for me wereA well organized ride catering for bikes as diverse as 1000 Vstroms right through to 2 stroke enduro rockets, and rider ability from new guys and gals through to seasoned campaigners.
The support crew were terrific. They didn’t whinge when we were late to meeting points, they had firewood ready at Sofala when we got there, and as we were dragging our sorry asses on to our bikes Sunday morning they were busy cleaning and loading up barbies and picking up any rubbish.
Well done gents. A top effort.How good was the campsite!
The scenery. Great views and that real mountain country look (when you slow down enough to have a look)
Campfire carry on.
“Ol burple” completing another ride despite needing an ovehaul.
Winning a prize for the oldest bike. A set of Pivot Pegs. As anyone who as ever used them will attest to,they are oneof the best accesesories you can fit to a dirtbike.( I wish some other people would start bringing the “old girls” out of the shed.)Yarning with micknmeld and kram on the trip down.
T.B completing day 2 of a ride. :laugh:
Everyones company.
Lowlights were
Krams crash and resulting injury.
Throwing Burple away on a slippery causeway , in full view of at least 3 other riders, including the “papparazi”

Moose.
Awesome day guys. Enjoyed getting out on “lil punkin’ immensely.Thanks Phil for the base station. And Mick for leading as usual.
I spent all yesterday arvo thinking how good a lifestyle property that is. If only….
Seriously good day folks. Lifes tough up here. :laugh: Just wish my kids were either home or unbroken.
Goodonyuz, Moose
