.... great tripe to tungamah....


Not sure I had chicken. Gotta say what a blast of a trip. Meeting up with fellow Ozstoc`ers at Glenburn for the ride in (or around) in this case, didn't realize I should have put the Knobbies on , never mind it was like my License test allover again didn't put my feet down so that's a pass. :eek. I did have a chuckle when we came out of the bush and Ppopeye rode past what he was thinking these guys are up too? :grin. Anyways, never been through Whitfield, didn't have a clue where I was, but was again a great learning curve.

Amber fluid was flowing well at the pub :beer, gotta say too that the Grub was great as were the hosts.
Good conversations were had by all and opportunity to meet and catch up with as many as I could was great. Nice to see too that the weather gods were shinning over us. Oh, and a special encouragement award for the locals. :crackup   Was that Spider-man hitting on Wonder woman or too many frothies?

Interestingly juiced up at Yea on return trip and my trusty mate was sipping fuel at 4.9/100  :thumb so happy with that . Having said that got home only to find a leaking left fork , quite badly , so into the shop for some love, :well not sure do this myself. All in all great trip and Lar Lar go get the CTX. :well  :wht11


Nice wrap up of the weekend Nigel, too bad about your fork! :|||| That may cost a bit yes? and yes I do hope I can get the CTX, sooner rather than later, hopefully I can ride with you guys when I do, then we can all be Ozstoc +1 CTX haha Wot thuh

Great weekend! Great company, great service, beautiful ride. So glad the weather held up!  :13Candy :runyay :grin

Native Dog Road?  That's not a bush track:



Stick wiith us Gary, we'll show you some real bush tracks:


Having said that - I missed a turn-off, we U-turned, and then headed along some fast sealed roads, then the wet slippery clay of Frog Ponds Road, Cheviot Road and Native Dog Road.  I thought my stint as rider leader was over.  But I think Hendo and Nigel were lost, they thought I wasn't, so my leadership abilities weren't questioned any further.

Trust me, I know a short cut .........
