Island Bend Kosciusko ride Jan 30-31

Post by ME 109 »

January 30th and 31st at Island Bend near Jindabyne. New South Wales, Australia, Southern hemisphere.

Camping next to the Upper Snowy River.

Aus Day is on Tuesday so no long weekend this year as far as I know. The 30-31 is the following weekend.

Who's in?

I'm in. :mrgreen:

Thanks for the pics, Charlie.

It sure is a nice spot, and the ride to get there very good.

Great! Mal might possibly might be there.
Great steep uphill tight mountain road to get there.

May Mal maybe make it. It's only 600-ish kms from Dubbo, Mal. Er, that is a long way of course, but think of the wear you'll be able to add to the sides of your tyres.

Mal of Batemans Bay won't recognise most of the people in the picture above. Jeff is easy enough, and those are Pete's feet in the foreground. The rest are mexicans from the Benalla / Beechworth region.

Well, you were doing pretty good. You were one of the 'uprights' at that gathering. There's your brother Ken sitting in the background - almost twins you are - only your mother can tell you apart. Here's a pic from the 2015 Alpine Rally ...

I wonder what mystery Brother Ken is pondering in his cup?

It looks like Mick's in Ken's cup? And it looks like there's some wire sticking out of my cup?? and I look like shit! :mrgreen:
Was that the morning or the afternoon? Or both?
