I’d love to be part of the mission, if spots still available

suggestion:
drop the Jindabyne – to Groggin bit, and camp and start at Tom Goggin Station, has a bunk house and accomadation for about 20-25, toilets, kitchen, shed and tools , and the manager is a bike wise man.
AND
MtPinnibar is at the back door, great place to start a ride.

This was the orginal plan below, we will now work on getting a date there again, will add you name to a reserve list

TB

I am so pleased to announce that we will be staying at Tom Groggin station on the friday before our ride and will be leaving our cars on this beautiful station

This station is part of history in the snowy mountains, here is a grab from the net regarding Tom Groggin Station

Tom Groggin Station, Khancoban
Alpine Way Via Thredbo

Tom Groggin Station is a farm stay accommodation. A 4 bedroom
unit is attached to the farm house on the property. Meals may be supplied
or you may cater for yourself. Go horseriding in the ’Man from Snowy
River’ country. Fish in crystal clear mountain streams. Relax in the
tranquil atmosphere of this beautiful high country station.
Thredbo ski resort is only 30 minutes away, and Jindabyne approximately 1 hour

They have a kitchen for our use in on the saturday morning for breakfast, will need to bring your own food and 7 people need to swag it for this to happen.

I am going to get my dinner in Thredbbo on the way down

Price for the night will be around $40 / person we think

This is worth a read, it gets fairly emotionally charged towards the end but is worth a look :laugh:

He said by the time it was time to replace the front tyre he had about 6 balls that had lost their pressure but were still working Ok. He doesnt even remove the green felt covering :dry:

Ollie

I still cant understand as a Mousse generates so much heat and needs lube?? You should try it Ollie, at least you cant pinch them or glue the patches on without removing the backing :laugh: :laugh: Very interesting but, and really if someone is cheap enough to run a retread tennis balls aren’t a stretch really eh?

Will watch this space be cheaper then a $200 mousse :laugh:

I saw a guy on a ride once try stuffing a rear tyre with dry grass, was very funny and didnt work :laugh:

TB

[GregMember]

I have seen these Ollie before, but they need to be greased to slip around the tyre and I cant work out how with tennis balls you could do that. They would chaff to pieces otherwise if you know what I mean like a dry mousse tube

But then if he runs retreads anything is possible I guess

Get some photos maybe :huh:

[GregMember]

Righto last try at a date didnt work, the 5th of June has been tossed because it didnt suit to many people

Final date to be attempted is the 3rd of July

Right who is happy with that

The concept is The concept for the night out is to have a night with our partners and have a few drinks. The woolshed is a great easy going fun night with a band a great feed and plenty to drink and its not all wine :laugh: The last night out there was a ripper

The Woolshed is a feature of Vicary’s Winery http://www.vicaryswinery.com.au/

The Woolshed details are here

Accommodation for those traveling and staying could be

Chifley Penrith Panthers
Cnr Mulgoa Road
Jamison Road, Penrith NSW 2750
(02) 4721 7700

I will look into getting a bus to and from the accommodation, we had one last time and I am sure if we behave ourselves somewhat the father inlaw will do it again for us.

The breakfast recovery will be at my place Sunday morning at around 10, bacon and eggs

If you are interested speak up please and we will make it happen

List of those interested

On a recent ride I was alarmed to find a new gate at the supposed border of a State Forest and what the sign on the gate said was “private property, no trail bikes”. No mention about 4WD vehicles. No need to mention 4w4 maybe as the gate takes care of them

It is a particularly good trail known as a fire trail and if not for us dirt bikers would have been overgrown years ago.

I had heard from a friend it is illegal for property ownerts to lock a gate which provides public access to a National Park even if the ‘road’ runs through their property.Is that true and if so, what about State Forests? If the track / road / access track is gazetted then they can put up a gate but cant be locked, but if its not gazetted they are well within their right if its their land

If a gate is erected on a State Forest or National Park border can it be locked legally to block access? If its erected by the forestry or NPWS’s yes of course
