Best Job In The World

So the best job in the world has started and it’s my first season for Cape York Motorcycle Adventures (CYMCA) as sweep rider.

I knew I’d made the right decision going for this gig. It’s heaven for me!

Dream come true

We completed a three-day tour with a group of six first up. All the guys were very capable riders so it made for a good flowing run up to Cape Flattery from CYMCA headquarters in Cairns.

A quick two-day tour was next, and that had plenty of laughs, yahoos and high fives, and that’s what I wanted to see! They LOVED it!

Then there was the almighty seven-day Cape trip. You beauty. I’d been looking forward to that ride ever since my last experience in 2017 as a customer.

Starstruck

With a crew of 15 riders we set out up the Kuranda Range, shortly hitting good old Black Mountain Road. It was a tad slippery as expected, but the group did well… until we snuck the guys up a single track which tested their skills and stamina. We were in there for a number of hours in the mud and water, and I’m pretty sure a few mirrors were left on that track.

One of the greatest parts of a tour this size is the camp-style living, from watching chef Westy cook dinner over the fire in front of you to sleeping under the stars.

‘How good is this!’ I kept thinking. That’s what you’re going to think too, if you come up for a ride.
