Col and Ben are Gmac’s brother and nephew.
They were having a ride and camp weekend near Lithgow. Gmac invited me along :woohoo:
Col is a long time friend of Snowy :huh: (I didn’t think Snowy had any friends
) Snowy and a few of the Tamworth crew came along as well as a couple of other mates of Col and his other brother Doug. That made twelve of us, and we didn’t have a last supper :whistle:Friday arvo was the start of what was going to be a top weekend of riding. We hit some fast open stuff, some technical stuff, some great views, some unusual rock formations and a very sweet and at times slippery single to finish off the afternoon.
Saturday was cool and there had been some over night rain on the trails but not at camp, this meant no dust :woohoo:
We rode some steep rocky down hills full of steps which led to the same only going up, some more sweet singles, fast open stuff to cool down on then straight back into more singles. The highlight of the morning was a sweet flowing, bermed cornered, up and down, slippery at times single that went on forever :woohoo:
Unfortunately after a rest Shaun’s bike wouldn’t start. Two stayed with Shaun, Matt nursed Boony back to camp with a sore knee and the rest of us rode some more technical singles back to camp.
Sunday’s easy ride turned out to be on one of Galey’s grade 4 singles, I’ve seen videos of the tricky bits posted previously. Luckily the Tamworth crew weren’t aware of this and were suckered in :laugh:
A bit of pushing and shoving got everyone through and we hit some more flowing singles and the very sweet single from Friday again. Back to camp for pack up and head home.
All in all a top weekend, and I’m looking forward to the next one :woohoo:
Thanks to Col and Ben for organizing, leading and sweeping, Gordon for inviting me and sweeping Friday and Matty for sweeping today
Got a small bit of video to come, however Ben got a good bit of the grade 4 stuff and I noticed Boony had his camera too.

PS did I mention Snowy got three flat tyres, one Saturday and two Sunday :huh: :unsure: :pinch:

Jess Gardiner, cool. Looks like you lads had fun.
Snowys “mate” :unsure: Col and his young bloke Ben organised for snow to drag a couple of us Tamworthian’s down to the Lithgow area for a weekend of yahooing, beer drinking, laughing, piss taking and even some dirt bike riding. The date for this ride was changed about fifty gazillion times and some of the other Tamworthian’s decided , stuff that they`ll go over to the Barrington’s for a ride with storky, Not sure how that ride went, haven’t seen the ride reports yet.. :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:
Anyway the cool crew
headed south on one of our epic road trips, we arrived at the camp ground and were greeted by quite a few other keen riders that were there for the weekend.
We set p castle de Tamworth and the padded up for a “short” :woohoo: Friday arvo warm up. Col apparently knows this area like the back of his hand as he led us on some of the sweetest trail in the universe.
We returned to camp and you guessed it (let the drinking begin). :sick: :sick: :sick: Tea had and the ring of knowledge was underway,
Saturday morning dawned a bit foggy but the promise of bigger and better trails had us all sited up straight after the bacon and scrambled egg brekkie. The ride was awesome, the trails are un bloody believable, :cheer: the scenery was epic and the company were great. Following a small injury worry Matt decide he would escort me out of the scrub using his dash GPS. :pinch: On our way back to camp we came across a car park and in this car park were about 3 or 4 large vans. One of the vans belonged to the sherco sponsored rider Jessica Gardiner . :ohmy: :ohmy: turned out she had ridden over to a track near our camp to shoot a riding video. Matt and I approached her to say g’day and she was very receptive to us and was happy to have a chat and have her photo taken with us, She kind of looked at me when Matt said would you mind if we got a photo and she said that’s fine and I said no can you take a photo of us… :ohmy: :ohmy: It was not long after this snowy thought he and the trusty CRF 250 could walk on water, :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: You know its bad when damus walked back from seeing what happened and said “I want nothing to do with that, all you can see it the tail light of a crf. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: This is when Jessica was leaving the area and literally bunny hopped over snow and looked back and shook her head.More to come
