Oz-boxerworks - Autumn Zombie Rally anyone?

[Airbear]

Well, what a superb weekend. I went up on the Friday, arriving at the Pinch River campsite around 5pm. The 30kms of dirt coming down from Jindabyne wasn't much fun this time - pretty rough and a bit muddy in spots. Some rain around but I stayed dry, under the tarp. 80 to 100 bikes turned up for the Cold Flame Rally run by the Monarchs MCC.



Jeff and co turned up on Saturday. Actually, there were two entire Jeff Knoxes, both on 1981 RSs. This pic of the RS squadron stolen from ADV. The new Jeff Knox came from Bourke on the blue one ...



Since it was a long weekend and nobody had to get home urgently nine of us decided to head south along the Barry Way. We went right down to Bruthen and then north up the Omeo Highway, camping at Anglers Rest on the Sunday night. The weather was perfect and the road grin-making.

Here's my route, a mere 750kms.



For Jeff Knox of Bourke add another 900kms at each end of the ride. He appeared to be enjoying himself, putting some wear on the edges of his tyres. Apparently there is only one curve in one road somewhere near Bourke.

Another great weekend, but I want more ...

Hey Charlie, that looks like it was a brilliant run!
Sorry I missed out on the ride but did enjoy very much the Zoo Twilight concert, if you get the chance to catch CW Stoneking live don't miss it.

Now that Autumn has finally arrived I am keen for a ride. 25C here today, clear skies, will explore some local back roads.

cheers
Mal

So when does the Zombie Master show up?

2019 I think.
He's limited himself to the Kiwi's this time. Some sort of warm up for coming to Australia.

Bloody great ride last weekend with Charlie and all. I was hoping to get pulled over by the cops with the other Jeff Knox for a license check.

When is the next ride? It's almost been a week since the last one. Steve? Mal?

Yeah, earlier in this thread there was mention of a possible gathering after the Easter weekend, or something.

After a long unseasonal heatwave we've had two days of winter here but the weather is now settling into proper autumn goodness, with warm high twenties days and cool low teens nights. Perfect weather for touring and camping.

So, I'll take a stab and suggest the weekend of April 1 to 3, somehow involving the Vic and/or NSW mountain roads. Perhaps Picnic Point would be a good destination, and that weekend is between Easter and the start of the NSW school hols. It's a splendid spot.

I've got time off after Easter but will be trying to finalise the club plate rego thing for the RS. That shouldn't impact anything though as it'll be M-F.
I do need to organise a family thing, visiting my parents who I haven't seen for ages. That'll be a 3-4 day chunk. I d/w dates with M tonight.

Cheers Charlie. The weekend of April 1-3 at Picnic Point would suit me fine. I can only get the Friday arvo off but that gets me to Canberra, and an easy run from there to the campsite by lunchtime. May take the Mon/Tues off too and wend my way home via the coast.

Hope you can swing the time off Steve!! You can bring the new'un to show us.

I'm hoping to visit my folks Wednesday to Friday 1st. Maybe get down to Latrobe Valley on the Friday night. If this works then Grant & me can get down on the Saturday. Is it still school holidays there?
I was planning to ride the RS, but if y'all wanna see the K I can ride that.

Gidday fellas,

I'm in, need a ride somewhere.

Yes the Vic school holidays started today for some, my daughter now has a few weeks off..

[ME 109]

I reckon I can make it. Satdee sundee mondee, or fridee satdee sundee.

I'll see who does what before I decide.
This time I'll pre book oysters. Autumn is the best time of year for oysters iirc

Drooling already. And some king prawns. And some ice cold beer.
