    My mates reported the Albury Saturday ride was excellent, but only enduro section. Sunday was Burkes pass and despite this being the third time on this property the track was completely different to anything I have done before but I did remember the odd bit her and there. Weather was perfect but the course was very rocky and dusty. Doing the hill climbs, you could not see any of the rocks because of the dust from the guy ahead. I am still feeling crook from the covid so only had the energy for one 51kms lap, but we all felt that was enough. Scenery was awesome. Watching the weather for the Craig Pickering ride-looking a bit dodgy atm.

    7 day forecast I saw shows 24 degrees by 4pm with a 3% chance of rain during the day, my rear tyre is pretty fucked but as long as it's dry, I don't want to put the new one I have on

    Trying the GT516KX next time round with a GT216AA fatty front

    No, but tyres are just a consumable like chains, oil, fuel, if I have spare cash which is fuck all of the time I'll buy them and stash them away until needed

    I haven't tried Golden tyres before but the reviews I have seen were very good and I need something road legal which the very good Bridgestone E50 Extreme rear and X31 front aren't

    It's true I can be and I don't pay attention to cosmetics or cleaning as much as I should on either myself or the bike, but my bikes get whatever they need to be reliable

    You need to organise a weekend away and come down Dave, maybe the Waiau 2 day next year ?

    Yeah I do intend to get down, but I failed my 'ride in the garden' test last month. Going to try a 'ride in paddock' test this weekend , but it will be a while before I can do a real dirtride, even maintrack, may be a year. This is proving to be a hard road.
