Hi Ace,
Happy birthday mate !! long time no see, hope all is wellHey Wazzup, happy birthday mate
Hope you have a great day and maybe get a sneaky ride in
pity it is a school night :laugh:As promised i thought i would knock up a quick ride report from the weekend’s Nav ride.
TB had mentioned that he may need a hand sweeping this one as he was running two courses (standard and special) so I told him that I could help out.
I arrived at Breckenridge around 7.30, sorted the accommodation out and got my GPS loaded.
A few beers were enjoyed by all, and the bench racing had started before we had even set offAfter the riders briefing TB informed me that I would be sweeping the standard course with the King and I was happy with that, we were heading off at 8 sharp
All the riders were away and we headed off on the route just before 8.
The King seemed to be having some trouble with his GPS (back light wouldn’t stay on) so I lead and the King followed.We weren’t long into the ride when we came across a broken Triumph (must have been upset about the cricket results) and we played with it for a while but couldn’t get it going. Bike and rider were loaded into the support vehicle and we lead them out to the tar.
About 300m from the tar there was a couple of danger signs, just before a small bridge with two erosion jumps straight after.
I kept going and got to the tar and waited for the King and the support vehicle.
After around a minute or so they weren’t there so I very gingerly went back to find the King’s steed on the ground at 90 degrees to the track and Dejay in the support vehicle tending to an injured royal off to the side. :unsure: :unsure:
Dejay was quickly on to the Ambo’s and we just made Strucky as comfortable as we could while we waited. I went back to the intersection to guide the Ambo’s in who were quite quick in their response.Ambo’s made the King more comfy with the help of a little green whistle and before long he was on his way to Port Macquarie Hospital. With some unloading and loading of bikes, trailers and riders I was off sweeping again but with a new partner (Mark from the Tiger now on TB’s WR250R) and we kept heading for Nambucca.
We rode some awesome twin tracks and even a bit of single between Wauchope and Kempsey, it was a real hoot on the bigger bikes.Fuelled and got some lunch in Kempsey and continued on with the other sweep group until we went our seperate ways just after the lookout.
Again we had some really nice twin tracks through the next section where you could slide the bikes around and have some fun.
As we got closer to Nambucca we were traveling on graded gravel roads that were very slippery and you could have easily got yourself into trouble if you weren’t concentrating.
Thankfully we had no further incidents on day one and we rolled into the motel at around 5.30 to the good news that the King was ok, couple of busted ribs and a punctured lung, but was going to be fine.
Good luck King, hope to see you back on the Tenere soonAs we were now one sweep down it was decide to only run one course for Sunday and that I would be sweeping with Pete the Wulf on Day two. :woohoo: :woohoo:
Day two to follow……………………………

If there is anything you need mate, lets us know only too happy to help if possible.Happy Birthday Nato, Have a great day
