Road Trip - Day 3 - Off to Syd-a-ney

The riding at Jake's was freakin' sweet, and it would have been great to get a second day on the course afterthe rain kept it slippery. But we had to get moving. Although there wasone improvement needed.. after two awesome hours of riding, itleft our backs feeling compressed, legs aching, knees tweaked and whiplash in the neck as you have to brace for every landing. But damn, it was worth every hard hit, the jumps felt great, and plenty of air-time!! So thanks to Jake Bowenfor letting us come and ride his home compound!So, Day 3 was simply to be a driving day to the next destination and go to bed. We started packing up all of our camping gear into the van and trailer when it struck us... how the hell were we going to get up this slippery rain-sodden hill with a 2 wheel drive van towing a fully loaded 2-tonne trailer?Luckily, Jake's uncle had left the keys in the tractor so we could tow ourselves out of the bog and make our very slow but eventual exit and on our way back down the range and on our way to Sydney.After starting the drive at 10am from Ulong, we reached Schuie's aunty Tammy and uncle Steve's home in Moss Vale at 7pm, and to our surprise, were greeted with an authentic Thai sticky pork dinner and a nice warming Scotch to ease into the cold weather Moss Vale put on for us.A big sleep in a comfy bed andthe next day will be a trip to KTMs Factory Race Team to wash bikes! Until tomorrow, have a good day!Steve
