The three most important things to bring to any OBT ride is a well maintained bike, the tools and basic spares to get you out of trouble and a good sense of humour.
Mostly the ride organiser will be the lead rider and they will arrange for someone else who knows the area to run sweep. On some of the big rides that require mass logistics there may be a cost for fuel dumps or for catering but this will be explained clearly in the ride gathering thread in the lead up.
Most rides carry a grade and you just need to be honest with yourself if you are at any given level. If you don’t feel comfortable it is hard to enjoy the day so if in doubt just PM the organiser and let them know what sort of riding you have done.
At the end of the day though your ability to have a good laugh is more important than your ability on the bike.
She rides them, she breaks them, she fixes them, she loves getting dirty and she drinks rum. If Australia is to be run by women I say move over Julia and make room for Kat!
A true Aussie girl.
Have a great birthday and enjoy the night.
Is it just fond memories or is it the no one rides 250 four strokes anymore. Could it be that most riders are now on a 450 or bigger that the old XR 250 seemed like such a singletrack weapon?
