UPDATE on the planned group ride will be on Saturday the 19th July . It’s around 250km ( around 170km dirt ) from Tolga RTN . Meeting at Lenny Street Cafe 800 if you want to eat , 830 coffee and 900 departure. I have designed this as an easy ADV ride “ Good for BIG ADV bikes or riders with not much experience. If we rate this ride “ say a 5 is the hardest and 1 the easiest “ it’s a 1 to a 2 in a few spots , a 2WD car could do most of it .
Brake out areas
There are two areas you can depart the ride if you need to get back early “ or just under the thumb “���.
1. From Tolga to Petford it’s around 100km ( this is close to we’re we will have a stop and something to eat if you bring a snack with you ) - So those that need to depart can make their way back to Mareeba on Asphalt around 1000.
2. Petford to Mt Garnet around 70km we’re will have lunch , also those that need to depart can head back from there on asphalt.
Final leg �
3. Mt Garnet to Irvinebank via Silver Valley and across back to Herberton and Atherton etc . A fantastic loop ride .
Stuff to bring :
1. A can of beer each or a 2 dollar coin ( 5 if you feeling generous ���) it’s a surprise so don’t ask .
2. Water / bottle of camel back
3. A snack - Muesli bar etc - for morning tea on the trail.
4 . Full tank of fuel
5. Well maintained bike
6. You own recovery plan , I have a bike trailer but not a 4WD .
7. Basic First aid kit
( I know this is common knowledge for most but some in-experienced may attend.
NUMBERS PLEASE, required for lunch stop �.
