morgos roster worker special

Thanks morgo. Some notes on one of the most amazing rides yet

This was actually my 3rd trip to this neighbourhood in 3 days. Racy and I stopped into anfos house on the way back from Saturday’s ride, our ‘wild hogs’ gang, played on the Catalina ramp on Sunday, and the rooster worker ride on Monday.

I arrived at murphs to find him putting is fitting skills to work. Fastest wheel bearing fit ever.

morgo and sam have some of the sweetest riding areas that actually start across from their house. and conditions were perfect.

morgo led us through some of the most amazing trails. Murph swept the first sections. Thanks murph

sam should change his name to splash. Like a little kid, he loves to splash in puddles. I like to back off and go round them. Sam seems to enjoy heading into the deeper parts at speed. I wish I had his enthusiasm.

I always picture the lake mac area as dusty hard pack trashed by 4wd enthusiasts. Not with morgo and murph. Their version is deep dark single trail. I really appreciate my local area now. 98% of the trails are ones I have never been on before.

Like morgo said, sadly a few crew had leave at lunch.

Dusty hung in as long as he could but he had to head home not long after lunch. Which just left murph and myself to freight train his secret trails. It was a mix of rainforest types singles, long steep hills, very steep descent back out of the watagans and fast open trails with erosion control jumps every few seconds that go for kms. Whoever put in these jumps must ride dirt bikes because so many were put in when where not needed, and so many are actually table tops.

I mentioned to murph at one point that the day was like a 2t. crusiy lown low (morning), then screaming up top (afternoon)

It was amazing getting to sit behind murph (and try to keep up). He is very controlled, wheels always exactly where he wants them, heading in the direction he wants, only lets the bike wheels spin a little when he needs to move a little dirt to find better traction. I said this to him. But after over a 100km of mostly single trail, the front wheel slides out a few inches 100m from the end of the ride.

Stay tuned for photos

Here’s some photos. I went for quantity rather than quality

Morgo goes ahead to check for dangers

Great day out with the tracks in prime condition after the showers the night before
Shame everybody left us halway through but they all had legit reasons
Champo, wished I got glowing reports from school like the one you wrote of my riding ability. I think there was something in that special milkshake you had at lunch that definately impaired your judgemnt :laugh: The money is in the mail mate :laugh:
Glad to hear all enjoyed the day as much as I did :woohoo:
Cheers
Murph

yeah it was a great ride.. thanks for puttin it on morgo. it’s always good see and ride different tracks even if ya know an area pretty well. it was certainly a challenge and i got to meet some oldbulls also. i had another stack on the way home aswell. one minute i was enjoyin a nice snotty downhill section and next thing i’m kissin the ground with my helmet and shoulder.i dont recall exactly what happened but i think my front end didnt agree with choice of line i was taken. anyway no major damage was done to me or the bike. glad murph and champo had some more fun in the arvo. thanks murph for being the sweep too mate.

have a good one

Good onya Dusty
Your always welcome mate
Cheers
Murph
