    This has to have been the best obt tail ride of all time. Incredible organisation catering campsite and brilliant riding with a top group of blokes. 60 k yesterday 160+ today Took me way out of my comfort level but I made it home thanks to nick spud rob smallholder and Sam. The latter two for helping me on a couple of hills. Faaaaaaaaaaaaaking brilliant. Now to stay awake till at least 8 pm.

    Jacko and Spud raised the bar on this one!! It was an awesome weekend and a great chance to catch with some of the trail crew. I have some pics I will sort through and load them up. I will also sent the Honda for surgery this week and let you know the outcome. I fear it won’t be pretty :dry:

    I will have to agree STM, a huge thank you to both Nick and Spud and their families for their hospitality.
    I had a great time and realised I’m not a grade 4 rider, thanks Smally and Spud for your help in that department and Rob400 for helping to get my bike back when I inadvertently put it over the side of the hill.
    The riding was absolutely brilliant along with the company. Sorry I don’t have any photos, but I was too busy trying to keep up.
    Thanks Boze for taking us over and back.
    I hope to do this again.
    Cheers Buzz

    I agree with the other guys it was a great weekend of riding and socializing with some old mates and some new guys .
    Nicks loop around his place was excellent and was a real good warm up for Spuds Saturday monster loop :woohoo:
    I think everyone was in bed by 8.30 :ohmy:
    Early start on Saturday with a drive over to Spuds where he mentioned to me it was -4 c :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy: and with a bit of tar to do before hitting the forest it was going to be chilly :(
    Once entering the forest we were into a day of awesome riding over a great loop which everyone enjoyed :P
    Big thanks to Nick, Spud, and there family’s for helping out and to Rob /Nick for sweeping on Saturday and Smithy for the fuel stop ;)
    Great effort

    Saturday evenings session was a cracker too with Spuds twin stack fire pit blazing :P and Bozes petrol flame bombs a highlight :ohmy: :ohmy:
    Look forward to the vids

    It has been said but I’ll say it anyway ;)

    A BIG thanks to Nick and Spud and their families for their hospitality, Nick, Spud, Rob, Smally, Andy and Smithy for their individual efforts to make it all happen. A lot of work went in to preparing the tracks and the weekend for our absolute pleasure :woohoo:

    I could have kept riding it was that good. For me it was a toss up between more singles or beer “O” clock.

    But after looking at Snowy it realized it was time for a beer :laugh:

    If you get the chance do yourself a favour and get onto the next Nth Coast ride, you won’t regret it ;)

    Thanks to all the boys who came along. It was a top weekend and good to catch up again :cheer:

    Put me on the list for the next one :P

    The weekend started early on Friday morning putting up a few signs to herd the old bulls into camp

    Friday afternoon was a 60km loop in my back yard and the pace was on and smiles a plenty :)

    Saturday morning saw an early start to arrive at Spuds around 7am

    After the transport section from Spuds to trail where we lost my mate STM to a mechanical :( , we hit a great trail and had a ball warming up , the odd bingle aside we made the first stop in no time.

    EF00762C-A8F6-461E-B08A-553FD01B710E_zps3agovj51.jpg

    We rode single after single and then up the tricky CoUntry Hill , The boys all stopped for a breather while Smally and I high tailed to The Bridge. Snowy made it clear he had concerns and even put in some back yard training back in Tamworth before the ride.

    It paid off for Snowy because as I tried to slow the big fella down to see if he needed a hand he just wound it on and hit the bridge with confidence. It was by far the best crossing out of the pack :)

    Needless to say I didn’t have time to get a pic as he was out of sight before my dropped jaw snapped shut.
