All Riders Social Ride, Mt. Coree Loop

The Invitation

​Stands up at 10am.
Standard route via Camera Corner to Mt Coree and back out via Two Sticks.
The purpose of the ride is a social event. To meet new people and to create and continue friendship. New riders more than welcome. Corner person system will be used and there will be plenty of support if you don’t go as fast as everyone else. Big bikes, chook chasers, single track demons, sidecars, even Harley’s with knobbies, everyone is welcome. If you don’t like stopping all the time, the event probably isn’t suitable for you.
This won’t be a race, there will be plenty of opportunities to stop and talk shit, and take photos.
Safety first, no insurance so ride at own risk, obey the road rules, ride safely around others and we’ll have a fun and drama free ride together.

The Ride

Today I joined a fantastic group ride with an amazing bunch of like-minded riders, including Bernie Te, Steve Burge, Travis Bosch, and Tarik Lou. We set off from the Ampol in Weston and began the climb up Blue Range Rd. Along the way, we paused at a spot known as "Camera Corner" to snap a group photo before pressing on to Two Sticks Rd. From there, we rode along the ridge until we reached the turn-off for Mt. Coree.
The group tackled the ascent to Mt. Coree, where we were rewarded with some breathtaking views from the summit. After soaking it all in, we descended, and as the ride continued, the group split into smaller teams, each heading off in different directions. Travis, Tarik, and I teamed up, making our way to Flea Creek via the Powerline trail and Webb Ridge trail.
At Flea Creek’s Day Use Area, we had a quick look around before setting out on the Gentle Annie trail to Brindabella Rd. From there, we climbed Brindabella Rd, and at Piccadilly Circus, I took the lead, guiding Tarik and Travis back to the Uriarra Crossing. We returned via Bulls Head, Bendora Rd, Warks Rd, and Blundell's Creek trail. Along the way, Travis showed off his skills by clearing a fallen tree on Warks Rd.
It was a brilliant day, full of adventure, camaraderie, and excellent riding.
A small hiccup surfaced the next day when I discovered that my tool tube had somehow broken off during the ride. Thankfully, a call out to the group turned up some good news—someone had spotted it and picked it up. I was relieved to have my tools back, though a bit disappointed that the tool tube didn’t even last one ride.
