A two-day DSMRA ride in north Queensland.
We’d planned a 6.00am start, so the mighty DR650 was packed the night before and blasted off right on time. A group of us were planning to meet the rest of the DSMRA boys at the base of Mount Fox in the Paluma Range about 75km west of Ingham, Queensland, and a steady 30 minutes of highway and a blast up the range gave us our first taste of dirt heading down the western slopes on our way to Hidden Valley.
From Hidden Valley we turned north to follow the range. The track was in pristine condition and we emerged on the other side to pick up the last of the riders and begin the trip proper.
