Mark happen to notice a nail in his tyre and was planning to gently cruise back to Coromandel but i happen to have a 18" tube in the ute so we set about changing it thanks to Neal's levers & pump my tube & a LOT of Marks sweat!!

PS. when's the next ride?

[Cary]

The only ford with actual water in it so had to stop and get a couple pics. This is on Sunday heading out of Fletchers Bay.

Clint, 640 doing well, 60,000k two sheep and still fanging it with the dirt boys

The Sunday ride was better for me as I didn't have to think about money, who was going to show and who wasn't, did i have enought food,booze etc.

The Stony Bay road was a real type of adventure road and would make for an even more remote camp site, maybe next year......


I told Mark I was going to go ahead for a couple pics and was looking for a nice ocean shot with the bikes in the back ground but Murphys law saw me give up. Once I got shots below and started off just two corners later was the perfect setting i was looking for!!

Mark you were too fast for me to stop & get camera out in time..........

p.s. like to thank Tiger for another stunning weekend


Cheers, Cary

sorry mate. Problem corrected

Mate, after the weekend that you and Paula turned on, all is forgiven, with an indefinite credit note as well.

What did it cost you to bribe the weatherman into cooperating so well?

[marks]

don't know why but this pushes my buttons - brilliant

My secret but all the gods will want a piece of me at some point............

There will be better rides in future but no way are they going to beat the weather

[PeteJ]

Yeah, I'm certainly on for a ride with overnighting at Stony Bay.

Considering our prevailing winds are westerly, Stony Bay is usually good camping even in quite bad weather. You just need to be careful where exactly you pitch the tent in the campsite, because there's a nasty anabatic??? catabatic??? wind that rips down off the hill at times. No 2 Son and I had to go sleep in the truck there one night when the tent got torn....

, because there's a nasty anabatic??? catabatic??? wind that rips down off the hill at times. ...

Catabatic....hot days and cold nights, strikes just after sunrise as the heat hits an east facing slope. Pretty awesome by all accounts, flattens yachts etc....(worse than Brents farts!)

Great to meet you lot on saturday and my apologies for only being able to stay for just the morning, however I now have some faces to names, next time!

But....but... Pete said it came DOWN off the hill. How can a heating hillside generate a downhill wind?
I can see how a a cooling hillside would generate a down hill wind shortly after sunset.
What have I missed here????

The thread on a lot of hot air be my guess................
