I read that this ride will be more newb friendly, can anyone tell us yet just how friendly it is?
I have a mate from work who is a total pleb and just got a new bike and his L plates who is totally keen on this ride when he heard me talking about it.
I'd hate to encourage him to sign up to something where he'd either:
A) Hurt himself.
B) Hate it and never come out again.
If someone could compare this years proposed ride to last years Abbeyard to Dargo (where we had to divert because of the seasonal road closure) it could give me something to scope on.
Eg...It would be about the same or piss easy compared to it.
Thanks.
Hi Greg,
I did that Dargo ride last year and this years HCR will be a lot easier. "Piss easy" in comparison. The cold of the Dargo ride up on the high plain will not be there as the bogies are very nice all year round. Another thing is that the bogies have a mix of terrain so an s12, m12, mc5 or similar will be fine unlike in the high country where they get shredded.
The Berg is behaving itself again. So see you there !
