    Well, nine OLD BULLS braved the cold yesterday morning at Nundle . The temp was hovering at 2 degrees when we took off about 7:30am from the usual park-up spot. Nundle had received 2 inches of rain and was ready to deal us some justice :ohmy: :ohmy:

    Buzz provided the ride briefing and handed Bols the leaders vest. Bols headed off at hundred miles an hour and seemed intent on finding the most slippery difficult unforgiving hill climbs Nundle had to offer.

    We tracked our way down to the Steps and Ranger Rick showed them who was boss by being the first up them :) :) It was pure carnage, bikes and people everywhere. Boze was telling me that when he was powering up, he saw Andy coming back down the hill under his bike backwards :woohoo: :woohoo:

    We then headed to the Dam hill where Bols had two attempts and broke his front brake lever on the second:silly: But it did not break his spirit or his desire to thrash us all on the hill climbs :pinch: :pinch:

    So he led us to Sweet Mother. :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy:

    This climb lived up to its name with only Buzz and Bols making it to the top ;) ;) I got within a bees dick of the top and then my battery died. With no kick starter installed, I had only one option – to swallow my pride and roll back to the bottom attempting to clutch start on the way back down. I was gutted…. 👿 👿 There was no way I was trying again :blink: – defeated.

    We then headed back to the vehicles as Bols bike had spent that much time on its side leaking fuel that he was on reserve.

    I think we only managed about 40km’s but it was brutal :pinch:

    PS. Hope I got all the names of hills right. Anyway, whatever you call them they were slippery and unforgiving and caused a bucket load of carnage :laugh:

    Thanks to Bols and Buzz for leading and Damus for sweeping and all the others as well. It was pure Nundle magic :P :P :P

    None of my photos turned out any good from yesterday, so hopefully someone else’s did and you can post them.

    I think both Andy and Boze had helmet cams on, let’s see the footage boys…

    Thanks buzz and bols for the lead >>> super sweep damus,,,

    the day proved to be slippery after the recent rain I knew we were in for it, MY riding skills were letting me down from the start the most simple creek crossings that never faze me were proving a task, after a quick word with buzz and some helpful advice we were off to tackle the steps!!!! More carnage!!!!!

    Bolls and F$#%ing Mud thanks for letting me put the goggles on MATE before the spray!!!!!
    Thanks Rick for washing bolls mud of me later in the day :woohoo:

    I was trying out my new camera an ion air pro Wi-Fi im happy with how it went but as you will see in the footage a will need to ajust the angle up a bit more I will have it right soon, and will need to get used to editing!!!!

    the ride up the single back to the cars was still slippery most of the group took the sooks way round, not me this time I took enough sook roots during the day i was going to do this even if it killed me!!!! fell off a couple of times but I did it :P :laugh:

    once back to the cars most of the group left bar four of us boze rick myself and someone else (I forgot your name sorry) went and took on the grassy singles that snowy led on a couple of rides ago down parachute hill hung a right over a fast flowing creek up a big hill which saw a little more carnage then we main rd it back by 3:15pm

    all in all it was another great day and can not wait for the next one cheers andy
