The 00 "Nundle" Gathering & Run to the Karuah Rallye |
| On Friday night 11 list members
met up at the 'Peel Inn' hotel in Nundle. In addition there were a bunch of Ulysses
road tourers and also the infamous 'Canning Men' (aka TGB). Next morning we took the
tar to 'Hanging Rock' then the track out to Barrie then on to Elleston. Yes the one
with 21 creek crossings! In actuality an easy ride on good country 3rd grade roads.
Accident NILs! Breakdowns 2 with one carb diapraghm tearing (BMW) and one
flat tyre (Honda). Great mixture of BM, Honda (Varradero & Afrika Twin) and a flash new Triumph Tiger. Later in the morning we met again with the TGB group who had a get off on the last creek crossing before Elleston and who were repairing a clutch lever. |

 (For some reason I am bragging for the camera) |
(this crossing being the only one
with a concrete base & as well a slimed suface ). They were repairing a clutch
level assembly. After a regroup at Kerry
Packers Horse Stud we took the forest road over teh Barrington tops to Glouscester then
down to Dungog for a few cold ales. The rain came down at this point but the
30clicks back into the mountains to the rallye was a real blast. Unforunately the rallye was a bit of a wash out (though a great time was had). 'Pissed down' all night. Most rider sbandonning the site by 0730. The 820Km ride home for this queenslander was wet and freezing dayride (I had rodden down in a heat wave!). Still a great ride overall and a successful gathering of the list members! |
