Yep. The countryside and feel of the loop is quite similar to Benalla (for those that rode Benalla last year).

It was an absolute blast. Great bunch of blokes (and a couple of blokettes, but I don't think any of them rode), hassle-free organisation, a great course and all-round good vibes.

The mix of bikes was what you'd expect - a sea of Huskys, ITs, PEs and XRs, with just a smattering of other stuff.

place looks good and dry, if only 3 bridges was the same this year. Too bad rockley is so far away i reckon a few more Vic boyz would attend. So when u say like Benalla Nathan, I assume that there are Rocks at Rockley?? I lost a footpeg last year due too the Volcanic mounds. Pics look gr8

Like Benalla before the bikes dug the rocks out of the ground! Similar soil, similar bush, similar type of course (mostly winding through the trees with paddock sections and short bits of fire road).
And cold too!  :D

That was day 1  ::)

Day 2 was something else  :o

After 6 hours of rain we went out to do it again. Originaly day two was to be run in reverse, but one gnarly day one downhill would have been almost impossible to get up in the mud. So it was run in the same direction for day two. The Persian Princess was out and about with the camera. Her first attempt at serious photography.......

It didn't slow any of the riders down tho  :o

I've had a look through mine Adrian, unfortunately nothing which is a shame as the Persian Princess and I spent a fair bit of time going over your "Jackpiner" on Saturday night. I'm giving my wife a crash course in photography. I was so into it years ago that I used to have my own darkroom. Next time (maybe October) I'll get her into the bush with a light meter and the skills she needs to capcher the action. I think she's got the eye for it. It was nice meeting you Adrian I hope to see you and your wonderful KTM's again. I do so love the old KTM's, SWM's, Maico's and Husky's.......... ;D

Thanks heaps for posting up the pics, Rory - and to your missus for taking them. :)

Remember, always grip the bike tightly with your knees - unless you're concious of scratching the crap out of a borrow bike's fuel tank, and you're three-quarters stuffed! :)

Nathan S from Yass...... We remember meeting you Saturday night in the tent...... Man what a good weekend........ I'm still buzzin from it. It would be nice if we could do 4 or 5 events like that in NSW a year.
Happy Days   ;D

It's good to get a name to match the photo. I was wondering who that was on the Husky Auto. Nice meeting you Nathan...... there's talk of this event being run again in October........ Hope to see you then  :)
