Blue Light Ride 2004

The Blue Light Ride was once an institution here in Victoria. It was an organised trail ride in the bush around Noojee that attacted up to 1000 riders, sometimes more. Sadly, the event is now a relic from the past. I only rode the BLR twice - the first time in 2004 and again in 2006. Both times were on a 1983 Yamaha IT250K.

It was notorious for being wet and sloppy, and indeed it was both times that I rode.

I recently found these scans of some pics I took at the 2004 BLR...
