Anyone interested. I'm doing a Bylong valley way loop with a mate if anyone is interested in joining us.

Bylong loop ride, Saturday 4th April.

Thats hell of a ride on a tard. I've done a loop of Oberon., Bathurst, Sofala and back to Sydney some time ago on a LC4 and would not do it again...
Cheers

[Gonzo]

Nah, it's not that hard.

Before xmas I notched up a couple of thousand km on the tard 8)

I've done this loop on a road bike which was cool, but I would not do this on my DRZ in a hurry.
Anyway the weekend ride you are doing is with Snapey (gsx1400)? If so say hello to him for me!

Realistically, if you can do 130km you can do this ride. Assuming you can handle a 500km day ;)

[nitronaf]

130 eh? :D

[Gonzo]

Well, 12 hours later I am home.

Didn't do the expected 500km :? closer to 750 8)

[nitronaf]

i chickened out cuz of the clouds that seemed to react to my movement
how was it tho?

[Gonzo]

Goooood

Not quite as twisty as I had hoped, but west of the mountains the weather was perfect :)
