    Hi Guy’s
    It was a tough day at the office, thanks to Murph……. for hosting and leading a good loop, shame I couldn’t
    follow up and do Sunday but a stack early on and over the bars took it’s toll. I’m not used to being back in the pack and eating dust so back to leading cruisy grade 3 rides till it cools down.
    Nice to meet some Oldbulls for the first time, hope to see you all soon.
    Here are a few pics makes a change for all us gumby’s to be at the top of a gnarly hill watching Murph and Sam having a go 😆 😆 😆 😆
    Cheers Michael

    GUMBY GUMBY GUMBY. That’s all I can say.

    Thanks murph for putting on the ride. ill be having another go in the WINTER months :ohmy:
    what a shit representative for the tamworth crew. I dropped me bike twice before even gearing up. 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 :angry: .. there I was thinking hope the day gets better than this… :dry: :dry: :dry: :dry:

    HUMIDITY was bugger all but man it was affecting me I was rooted by the first pit stop. in the basin camp ground……… then the day just got worse for me…. :angry: :angry: not knowing the area and trails made it difficult for me not knowing what gear or line to choose…
    I ask our fearless leader what is a good line,,, ummmmm there isn’t. 😆 😆 😆 😆 :lo
    is there a chicken route….. YEH you are on it.. :woohoo: :silly: :blink:

    only did 28km before I pulled the pin.. busted a foot peg. :angry: that’s enough not knowing what to expect further up the trails, I found the main rd home… decision I made as I didn’t want to hold everyone up and new water was going to be an issue. I had nearly drunk a 2ltr camel back. being in remote places sometimes you just gotta do the right thing to be fair on the rest of the crew… the basin has won this round but I will be back better prepared next time…

    I had ball great to meet you all. got a few picys ….

    Day two the Sunday ride…..
    Thanks murph for playing host. B)

    The eight o’clock start Came and went. A more relaxed and easier ride was organised for us… :blink: . Yeah right…. ;)

    The weather was a killer and what the heat could not do murph finished off. :blink: The names of the tracks as usual escape me. I was busy trying to breathe. :blush: I’ve now had a look at the murph classic hills and I think he can keep them.. :huh:

    Plenty of water , read mud , plenty of trees and plenty of loose busted arse rocks. :sick:

    The carnage was not all mine thankfully. :whistle: But I did play my part. 👿
    The hills Congo up Amazon down . Murph ,tim, mr squiggle , Sam and few others did Amazon up. How I don’t know…. :huh:

    Lunch was at twoish all were shagged. :sick:

    Great big ride. Hope for cooler weather next time :laugh:
    Looking forward to the vids boys post them up,,,, when you feel better! :P

    Well it was two big days :woohoo:

    Saturday I knew what was coming :unsure: Andy, you bailed at the right time ;) it only gets harder from where you left off :ohmy:

    I enjoyed the Basin Run, and even did a hill I hadn’t done before :)

    Sunday I started out like a total gumby :huh: I couldn’t do a thing right :angry:

    And I knew there was some difficult terrain coming :unsure:

    Luckily I was consistent, I was no worse on the hard stuff :laugh: I had a couple of lucky escapes :whistle:

    The temperature reached 37 at Cooranbong (the closest recorded town to where we were riding) at 2pm :sick: No wonder it felt hot :pinch:

    A good feed and a cool down prepped me for the trip back, I actually improved ;) I couldn’t have gotten any worse :whistle:

    I took a wrong turn onto a single and I was on fire, Gordon trying to chase me down finally caught me at a corner when I didn’t see anyone and realized something was wrong :blush: It added a fun bit to the ride :whistle: :woohoo:

    Thanks Murphs’ for a top weekend and your hospitality :cheer:

    And thanks Dude for sweeping, as usual a top job ;)

    Thanks to everyone else that came along and making it a ride to remember B)

    Vids to come later.

    Adam.
