    No problems with the fuel murph, have a mate at main creek who has agreed to do a fuel drop for us 3 hours in on day 2.

    Not sure on Fridays bike agenda, if I get everything setup on Thursday afternoon then Ill be on the bike for a bit in the morning, see how I go. FYI Boyto and I look like heading up on Sunday this weekend or next.

    Nice Vid Squiggle B) I can see a lot of effort has gone into preparing this ride to ensure it is a success!! Charley from Barrington Trail Tours also uses and maintains those trails and they also make up a large part of the “Forest 300” a classic enduro that has a long history and regarded by many as the best Enduro in Australia. All it needs is a couple of good down pours of rain to wash away the dust and it will be Primo.
    Boony knows how good this ride is so all you Tamwegians should step up to the plate and have a crack.
    sorry I wont be able to make it I will be out in the middle of the Pacific ocean somewhere.

    Hey Ollie,

    Calling it work is a stretch, more pre-riding on the way to get these loops really dialled in and putting a couple of more hills in day 1 :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

    Hey Murph,

    Welcome, you and tim feel free to take the long way across the creeks :)

    Sunday is the bigger day so hopefully you can do both.

    Spoke with Jonsa today and between us we will be bringing about 200 litres of drinking water and I have been drinking from the creeks for years . I will also organize a big arse BBQ for some group cooking. We will be heading up on Thursday night to stake our claim and make sure there is plenty of room for everyone to roll out a swag and plenty of firewood on hand.

    Riders should as a minimum bring bike, fuel, esky full of grog and whatever you want to cook on the BBQ.

    Now its down to the weather :)

    no mate, weekend of the 1st and 2nd, the BMW rally is up there on the following weekend and the camping area will likely get full.

    Its near Dungog Fuchsy.

    Top work Squiggle, i love it up there.
    That last trail i know as “research” and its a cracker and being one way it means you can have some fun but it also doesn’t get chopped up in places.
    So many good trails up there, if anyone wants top quality riding then get on this ride you won’t be disappointed…………..unless you don’t like hills :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    PTW

    Hills are fun :) There is nothing really knarly and all the tricky hills can by bypassed.

    Your right Pete that last trail is simply awesome, the camera went flat and there is still quite a bit of riding after that but its a great track. Its so scenic I just cruised through, wanted to soak up all that nature karma B)

    That clashes with the Adv ride up at Wauchope then , I can’t do that because of work , so I miss both :(

    Bugger Al,

    If it makes you feel any better I will be up there quite a bit perfecting that loop, have a few more hills and trails that need to be worked into it so keep an eye out and come up for some exploring next time. Have you got another bike in the shed for these rides or do you just take the WR ?

    in reply to: XT660R V Tenere #253201

    Hey Wigster,

    My Tenere is up for sale mate, not official yet but its gotta go as the “Big Trip” is cancelled I cant really justify leaving all the $$ tied up in the shed.

    Just about every extra you can buy and already has the single exhaust, braided brake lines, DNA Air Filter Kit, Bling, guards, bars et etc blah

    Give me a call if your interested.

    I read it again and saw the Feb bit halfway through… no worries. 1st and 2nd of February it is.
    Any idea on numbers yet?
    Looks like another 5hr drive for us but no big deal, we have visited Murph a few times already for a ride. The drive home is the tough part.

    5 or 6 at this stage axel, we will see if there is any more keen over the next few days. Ill start a list of riders on the first post I suppose.

    Hopefully you should be sore enough on Sunday that your happy to sit on your arse in the car for a few hours :laugh:

    Was wondering about this February ride without a date. So it’s first weekend then. There will be at least 2 from here making the drive. 130km is a stretch for many. Cheers.

    Nice to have you on board Axel, will post the pre-run vid from day 2 a little later one. Hopefully the long drive will be worth it, good riding and should be a fun sat night

    The starting post did say first weekend of feb :whistle:
