First for NSW

OK, looks like NSW is dragging the chain!

Ride with Quirky on his WRR250 today. Glenrock, Barry Station and home via the Liverpool Range. Perfect weather and a great 400km.

It is amazing how Australia recovers with some decent rain.

Beautiful forest road in pristine condition. Unlike the tracks between Bulahdelah and Stroud. 

The AT struggled to the point where we had to back out.

Torrential rain was forecast but that didn't deter us.

Friday was a beautiful late afternoon run over Crawney Pass

 

Sunday was not so nice. Pissing down rain in Wauchope but we had to go home.

Quick stop at the top of Toms Creek and a pic as the rain briefly abated

I didn't pull the camera again after Toms Creek! By the time I got home water had crept into every crack and orifice. 400km with rudimentary wet weather gear is not recommended.

Amazing how slim the T7 looks, next to those hugely wide BMW's 😆. I know what I'd rather be riding off road....

Great country and riding through there to Nundle.  Where is home?

Home is Denman NSW. A good spot to go in any direction for some great rides.

Sure is. I am in Thornton near Maitland.  Also in a good spot to enjoy some great country and riding. Just in the process of farkling my new bike to get it sorted for some riding/touring.

I'll post up when heading out next. A run through the Watagans might be in order.

Nice Sunday in Barrington Tops. Especially waiting for those that take the wrong turn!

Not sure if I would like to be on this stretch in the wet!

After a prolonged job ( which took up many weekends ) I finally got out for a decent ride and test the KTech suspension. Most impressed over sharp rock edges, stray roots and angled washouts. Love it.

In the right hands a good match for the 701

A nice loop around the north side of the Barringtons - the main Scone Gloucester road is closed indefinitely and the road from the dingo gate to Tomalla is the same.

Lunch break in Gloucester then up Berrico for a sting in the tail before tar home from Dungog.

 

Burgled Greg's Relive file!

Mate, That is a huge day in the saddle as I have done a lot of that area. Curricabark  and Berrico.  Is that old Landrover still on the side of the track up to Berrico?

 

Cheers

Yep, old Landy still there. That section of the trail is pretty rutted but no match for the T7. The short steep downhill on Cherry Tree is littered with babyhead size boulders but the right hand side is OK.

 

Now for new tyres and the next ride. 😀
