Big thanks to TB & everyone who was involved in the pre running, so much time & effort goes in behind the scenes to put together a route like this, not to mention clearing the trails & the distance they travel to do so… I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say thx again for all the time & effort you all put in, it was much appreciated.
Also a big thx to Steve from Adventure Moto for donating prizes & driving the support vehicle, Yamaha & any other sponsors that I’ve forgotten for coming to the party & helping out.
I could only get away on the Sunday & TB was kind enough to let me just tag along on the Sun. I hadn’t been on the bike for months & was hanging for a ride, I knew this one was gonna be a cracker as I live in the area. Bike was prepped, new tyre whacked on, clean air filter, threw a lambs wool cover on the seat then put 20L of fuel in the tank & all was looking good for my 1st ride with the Old Bulls. Now here comes the twist (no pun intended) the next day I threw my back out & could hardly walk, damn. Hoped it would come good but unfortunately it didn’t, riding was not an option any more so my ride turned into a DNS. On a lighter note I went up & had dinner on Saturday night with the crew to explain my misfortune, met some really nice people, sounds like you all had a great days riding. Sorry I couldn’t tag along, was really looking forward to it… Made the right call though, on Sun morning I couldn’t even get my shoes on let alone my leg over a bike.
Sorry to hear about your bad luck there Puddles, wishing you a speedy recovery mate.
Thx for all the ride reports everyone, been enjoying reading all your posts.
Glad to hear/see you’z all had such a good ride.
p.s Was talking to a few people on Sat night about a ride we did a while ago from Kempsey to Gingers Creek, if any of you would like the route just give us a yell.
