Excellent news. No rally plans currently. Might take Tanya down the coast next weekend. Probably the Cold Flame will be next all going well. Cheers Fati Sent from my iPhone using my thumb
Bev's coming down with me for the 'Cold Flame', if it's not wet & cold!!! 'Karuah' is the next one for me, road tyres & slabbing it up on the Friday Cheers Baza
Hammered down here in Carwoola, the workshop's flooded (no real dramas) but the tanks and dams filled in 15 mins, a new recorded Hope the folks at Numeralla bought some wet weather gear, they looked like they coped it bad. Last thing those folks needed after the past few weeks.
50mm in two hours here in Yass, wasn't lethal downpour - just constant heavy & much needed Cheers Baza
We only just made it back through Namadgi ahead of last night's storm - might have been a bit ugly on a bike ... 30mm out here, but no runoff into dams ... Too much standing feed - the kangaroo grass loves a nice hot dry spell, and that thatch catches any attempt at runoff ... The Bureau is upbeat about more rain today ...
Similar here, and some wet campsites with it. The fire may be declared out after this too. The performers on Friday evening were great, and yesterday afternoon's Underskore Orkestra performance was fantastic. With a ride in the morning and a few beers last night in the rain, been a great weekend so far.
Hi can anyone recommend a route to Katoomba from Canberra that takes in a few nice dirt roads?? I usually drive the car via Taralga and Oberon, but would like to mix it up a bit on the BIKE. :)
thinking about a quick blat up Mt Coree in the morning before work. can anyone help me with where the turn-off is on Brindabella Road....? Rode past where I thought it was the other day and couldn't see it...
About 400? metres past where the dirt starts hang a right, down hill do a splash (i think it is a bridge now) and climb up to two sticks, turn right again, turn right at the Mt Cooree sign. (there will be some bigh puddles and some wash aways) after saturdays effort. Top spot up there.
There’s a few different ways to get to Mt Coree ... <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o> Coming from Uriarra, Two Sticks Rd is the simplest – access to the start of that is on Mt Creek Rd, about 1.5km down from the start of Drs Flat Rd (i.e. that gate we went through with Nick, where the cattle were on the road). <o></o> Two Sticks does a big horseshoe, and ends up down on Brindabella Rd - opposite the start of Mt Franklin Rd ... There's a side road up to the summit of Mt Coree itself – a few kms only – a bit steep / loose at the top, but probably no worse than that little stretch on Broken Cart ... You could do the loop in either direction (i.e. start on Mt Creek or start on Brindabella) – as Davo points out, likely to be some washouts up there as a result of rains - take it easy ...
This could be a little keen b/4 work with the amount of rain we have had, and by yourself. That red clay is a pig when its wet, ask Siva..........:huh
thanks guys. yeah rain. hmm I left the bike alone for two days but now I need to go test the tyres again.. or something.... maybe somewhere else not quite so .... ideas???
Gotta agree with you there, easy enough to get outa trouble even when there's a mob of ya, mind, you shouldn't follow old yellow Yamahas either Cheers Baza
Geez, those " old yamahas" can dig themselves in...everyone standing in the water is in less than an inch & the yammie is dug in up to the axle . Is it a throttle control thing or did Yamaha have shares in the Japanese Cold War submarine industry?
Notice tinbum has a spread on his legs, there was a deep part!!! Japanese submarines, hhhhmmmmm don't think they'll take off somehow??? Cheers Baza
May be too late for suggestions now if you were after a morning ride, but ... Sawyer's Gully Rd would probably be OK - then back down Mountain Creek? It was drizzling on and off most of the night here - probably a fair bit of water lying around on most of the roads today ...
Thanks, mate... yep decided to stay in bed given it was still raining late last night. But I'll take that route under advisement :)
