I know some of you stayed after the announcement (the ride being cancelled) on Friday afternoon did some of you still go for a ride on your own or with mates?
How was the dinner at the hall after that was moved from the camp?Congrats to Bollocks the new King :woohoo:

June 2, 2012 at 7:51 pm #223106I had great ride on Saturday. I was going to go on my own but luckily Tim turned up and I was able to follow him so I didn’t get lost. It was some of the best riding I have been on for a long time.
Thanks to Tim and the others that came along
June 2, 2012 at 7:54 pm #223111No
Went home with the shits
June 2, 2012 at 8:28 pm #223113Yep, Sure did
Well seeing as I had ridden from Newcastle (departing 5am) and arived to see that most had received the bad news & either stayed home or returned home anyway
I had my gear to camp on the bike, and it was too far to ride back safely in one day in the dark,,, so I camped a couple of nights and rode out to Hill End on saturday for lunch & back in the rain :whistle:
Lucky for me there were a few other guys that also had thought of riding to Hill End, so they rode with meThen I had to ride back to Newcastle today in the rain again :blink: :S :dry:
I might load my GPS track later if I can load up
Hope you all had a good weekend and weren`t put out too much with the cancellation ??????????
Maybe I will catchup with you guys next time instead …Cheers

SO sorry gyes.June 2, 2012 at 9:16 pm #223119After travelling over 11 hours from the North Coast we were not going to turn around so we set up camp and caught up with a few of the crew that stayed.
Saturday morning we went out with a small group and explored the forest for a few hours. Shame the event could not go ahead but we still had fun.STM

June 2, 2012 at 9:30 pm #223121Yeah I moved my camp and went for a ride with some mates instead I have some video footage I took I will get posted later. It was wet, slippery and fun :woohoo: I am sure most stayed around the area not all where it was going to happen. The attendance at the hall for the dinner the auctions and presenation of the new King was amazing considering all the dramas and the event being cancelled at the 11th and 7/8s hour.

But seeing that I had a leave pass for the weekend I decided to go for a ride anyway
And bugger me I ran into a few mates and we decided to go for a great ride.
It was bloody awesome :woohoo: Great blokes, great trails how good does it get. Weather was a bit damp but s#$& happens. Thanks to the guys that helped me up one of the last hills, you know who you are, and sorry to one particular bloke (Crash) who i roosted the crap out of and then proceeded to knock him off his bike while he was minding his own business :blush: :whistle: Sorry mate, I think I owe you a beer or ten.
Cheers,

Happened to bump into the same bunch of blokes (and ladies), just as well as part of my bike decided to abscond without my permission…. thankfully one of those people who happened to be going that way returned with a car and trailer to take me back to my camp
Thanks again steve you’re a champ. Was a awesome route and can’t wait to do it all again (completely)
