2021 Ural Adventure Ride
/
Our 2021 Ural Adventure Ride was a three day ride this year and held the weekend of 22-24th October.
With lockdowns and state borders closed preventing many from attending, we had 13 outfits from across regional NSW come along for a great weekend of riding fun and adventures!
Friday morning saw a group of eager participants and smiling faces gather at Ural Australia headquarters, ready for the first day’s ride.
We had Tom Foster, editor Adventure Rider Magazine, join us again for the ride as he took the opportunity to join in with a great bunch of Ural owners while he photographed our adventure and test rode the new Harley. Keep an eye out for Issue 50 with the full story and photos of the ride.
What began with cloudy skies, turned into a warm, sunny day as the group took to the dusty back roads to wind their way over mountains, through forests enjoying a roadside picnic lunch by running streams, then on into Nundle for the first night’s stay.
Saturday morning we again took to the back roads out of Nundle to enjoy more spectacular scenery with plenty of opportunities for regular stops and catch ups on the side of the ride.
A warmer day today, many enjoyed the splashing opportunities presented with a few creek crossings encountered along the way!
Midafternoon saw us arrive into Gloucester for our second night’s stay. Plenty of time to have showers, rest, relax and enjoy a cool drink with more opportunity for socialising.
With an overnight storm blowing through, it was a damp start to the morning riding beautiful winding roads, dodging the occasional limbs from trees and quite a few pot holes along the way. Another picnic lunch stop beside a creek enjoying the shade from the warm midday sun.
An afternoon stop at Nowendoc where a few departed and went their separate ways as we enjoyed the ride back into Uralla.
Once again a huge thanks to our ride organiser, Greg Jansen (and wife Janice) of Rocky Creek Designs, for organising another great weekend of Ural riding spent with friends reunited, a great bunch of people, good roads and wonderful comradery formed as we rode together!
