In the end there were five.
Not sure what happened to WRSteve I hope everything was alright :huh:
We had a light shower of rain this morning and it just settled the dust, just
Michael led the first part of the ride with the new singles and a run along the pipe line to the first challenge of the day
As can be seen in the first part of the video Kevdog made a meal of it :whistle: With his glasses fogged up in the humidity he had no idea what was coming :ohmy: I don’t think he thought the squeal was coming either :laugh: :laugh:
Once we all got through that section it was off to the singles to the quarry with a stop off at another little fun spot where Sam got out of sorts :laugh: :laugh: (got to give it to him where I can), Kevdog was back on tune by then
We all had some minor incidents, one with me laying my bike down, picked it back up, dragged it back onto the track where I fell backwards over a log and the bike landed on top of me :blush: I was stuck and had to be rescued :pinch:
Further along Michael clipped a tree which knocked the bars into his ribs and off he flew into the scrub :pinch: A bit of rest to get his breath back and he was good to go
Marble hill was next with Michael loosing it and blocking the track for Kevdog who attempted a go around without success :huh: but managed to restart from that spot
With Jacob overheating and Michael low on fuel we headed to Kulnura for a drink and fuel and a break.
Then it was off to Under log (with futile attempts from a local to block the track) for a quick blast in and out and then we headed home via some of the singles in reverse and some we hadn’t done on the way out.
It was a good fitness prep for Coffs, I just hope they get some rain up there, just not as much as last year
Thanks to the boys for a top ride and catch with some of you at Coffs :woohoo:
Adam.
November 3, 2012 at 7:17 am #231907Nice report and vid Adam, the hills never look as steep on a camera do they? That first hill is a slippery sucker these days with all the dust and loose soil.
Looks like you all had fun though and that’s what it’s all about
November 4, 2012 at 8:40 am #231908Well an early start for me and a few ks to my old home town of Ourimbah to ride some trails that many years ago I had riden on horse back
A easy start and then into some tight singles
Some great singles and plenty of rocky ledges which made things interesting.
Good company and some good riding great tune up for coffs.
Thanks to Adam for organising the ride and Lunch

Who put that log there at the end :huh:
I’m sure it wasn’t there last week :whistle: :pinch: :laugh: :laugh:
I was laughing that much I couldn’t lift the bike :laugh:
Good to see you were full of concern there Kev :laugh: :laugh:
It was a funny day at times
Adam.
November 6, 2012 at 3:56 am #231909Michael posted this video on youtube
I’ve ridden with Michael quite a number of times and where he has his first stack must be his nemesis as I’ve seen him stack there several times :laugh:
And he’s the only person I’ve ever seen stack there :laugh: :laugh:
Trevor must be Kevdogs stage name :laugh:
