We all met at the Sally’s Corner Servo, woke Sam up, had intros and a quick chat then headed into Wingello SF.
We all got our respective acts together and were ready to ride on time.
It was an informal ride trying to share the lead a bit to give everyone some time out of the dust
The Chad plodded along at the rear which gave us all time to chat and work out where to go.
We flew along the twin tracks with a couple of hills thrown in
and some how accidentally ended up on some of the singles that are there :woohoo: They were fun.
Merv ended up puncturing his radiator hose :ohmy: but we managed to trim it and make it reach so all good.
Then The Chad’s water pump decided to pump water out rather than to the radiators :pinch: so he and Merv headed back to camp whilst we continued to play and explore 😆
Whilst we had lunch and Merv spotted he had a flat front so that gave us some entertainment to watch during lunch before we headed out again minus The Chad
A bit more exploring and some more good singles :woohoo: and a few technical sections to test Teza
Teza hit reserve and Merv started cramping up so they headed for camp leaving the rest to have a fast blat and more exploring
It was an enjoyable day and thanks to LC4skin, Nath, Teza, Merv, The Chad and Sam for some good fun :woohoo:
Catch you guys on another ride soon
Some vids and photos to come.

January 20, 2012 at 11:12 am #214778Well another top day out, and ride with with some cool OBT crew, thanks guyes,both those I’d riden with before and a couple of new “to me” faces Mat and Nath,great fun. Well use had me puffing a bit in those tight singles
and the ol RMX wasn’t real happy in the real tight stuff but I had some fun in there :unsure: :laugh: as specialy the above mentioned tecnical bit :blush: a steep windey going around trees section that I managed to get most of the way up then got off line and hooked the rear up in a tree root
Lets just say that forward progress was temerraraly holted and some profanities were heard coming from my general direction
Back into some more singles but I must admit that I was feeling a bit nackerd after my little wresteling match with the RMX,,,so I dicided to have a bit off a lay down in the bracken ferns :ohmy: :laugh: Merv came along and seen a bit of bike sticking out of the ferns and me laying on my back:laugh: Thanks to Merv for helping me drag the RMX back to it’s feet,,,or was that me he was draging :laugh: It was a lot of fun,and I did need that little rest
Well riding with so many late mod bikes made it pretty clear to me that i’l be needing a new steed some time soon. Like being the only one with a kicker,,,and sliding sidways down a steep incline only just hanging on when LC4skin went sailing past me in a stright line, making it look efortles,,,,must have been the Berg making it look easy
:laugh:
Well I had a fun day so thanks to every one for the riding and the laughs,,and thanks to merv for a ride on yu bike mate.
Till next time Cheers Teza.January 20, 2012 at 1:07 pm #214779The crew on one of the hills
