On this ride, Steve on the mighty Norden 901, Mick on the BMW G650GS beast, and myself on 'Goldie' - Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE went in search of King Solomon's Mine...well the road at least. Technically we didn't fail, the road is just super over grown at the Mount Larcom end - we didn't try from the other end. So instead, we headed off to explore Inverness Rd. This was a great easy ride with some interesting scenery - a train bridge, rocky slippery puddles, cows and a mine site. There were only a couple of long straight sections, otherwise it was fairly windy and kept it interesting. I was also freezing, I couldn't stop shivering or get comfortable, so I was a little slower than even I normally am, but the lads are great and stopped to check in on me on occasion.
The ride started as it often does - from the Gracemere McDonalds. This video is just Inverness Rd, as the ride through Bouldercombe to Mount Larcom has already been shown (See links below) and the other footage wasn't great - sound was terrible, and when it was good, all you could hear was me muttering to myself about how cold I was:
• Bouldercombe to Ramsey... or
• Rocky to The Narrows 2...
On the way back we mostly took the blacktop, which allowed us to play on the windy Mt Morgan - see this video for more: • Mount Morgan
I have also included the Relive video at the end - feel free to leave a comment if you want the full GPX file.
