Snowy,Buzz,Me,Bollocks,House and 2 newbies,Mat and Damien all met at our normal meting place before heading for them there hills.
We knew we were in for a fun day as soon as we seen how slippery some of the trails were,
Mat was the first one to taste the nundle clay, 😆 apparently still in view of the cars, I gave him the mandatory “welcome to nundle” at our first stop. :whistle:
Snowy was the designated photographer due to him having a camera I recon he stole from the paparartzi.(hopefully he will post them. :huh: :huh:We soon hit the singles that were just 100% grip, it was a ball.
I gave snow the lead through wombat hole and he ended up taking us somewhere we have never been.it ended up being a not bad trail. :woohoo:
We made our way to the berry patch for some lunch and a fuel top up and then the fun began. :whistle:
I asked snow to lead the ride and I was in the pack with that Bollocks fella. He was trying to roost house and me at every opertunity, :side: House pulls up beside mw and yells go get him,, it was on for the rest of the day,, by the way Bolls I WON, :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:I was all full of smiles until we hit the dog on lino twin trails out back of ponderosa, I was 5 foot in front of Bolls and thought, sneek over onto his side and fill him in,,good plan until i blipped the throttle and it all turned to poo. :ohmy: :ohmy: the back wheel instantly over took the front and Bolls use my bum crack as a bike rack.He says he braked, I still recon I heard the WR hit the limiter. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
All was good, not to bad of an injury once we got Bolls bike out of its temperary parking area.
We headed back to the cars,loaded up and headed to the Dungy pub for a well earnt bevvy.Thanks to all that came on the ride, it was one of our best.

Good report Boony.
Sounds like a lot of fun on the ‘dog on lino’ trails. :laugh: It sucks when the bike swaps ends before you even think about trying to save it. Been there many times myself. :woohoo:

. There was some string along the track too that went for a couple hundred meters, I wasn’t sure what it was at first. i though it may have been some wire or fishing line so pulled up to check and it was only a light string or a heavy cotton. Maybe someones shirt got caught on a branch and peeled off as he they rode on.
May 1, 2011 at 5:13 pm #200407What can I say that hasn’t already been said, other than I think I spent more time having a close inspection of the ground than riding at times. Even had a walk of shame a couple of times, thanks for the help guys.
I had an ausome day. Thanks for the company guys:)May 1, 2011 at 9:58 pm #200420Great day, good group of blokes and Bollocks back on a trail bike so we could fill him in all day…excellent 👿 Two complaints though
1] We stopped, although the pub was a consolation
2] Riders that either a}get so close together I couldnt focus the camera quick enough, b} go another way across the creek to where Im taking photos, c} wont waittill I’m ready or d} deliberatley try to run over you when your lying in the grass trying to get a good photo of them.
What photos worked are with Boony who is posting them.May 1, 2011 at 10:01 pm #200408Jeffro wrote:Boony wrote:we hit the dog on lino twin trails out back of ponderosa,I hit one of those last weekend, I hit the throttle and the back just stepped out then the front started to get real sketchy which after my last slippery clay incident had the sphincter muscle tweaking

May 1, 2011 at 10:08 pm #200398Running 10 minutes late house and i met the lads at Nemingha and bolted to the Hills Of Gold for some well needed shenanigans :cheer:
We kitted up and as per normal i was last to be ready…trying to put a new lense in my goggles..not easy when your under presure :angry: ..one of the funniest things i heard all day was from Snowy..”ffs Bollocks..hurry up..this is not a F#*%ing adventure ride” :laugh: ..pay that one.
Conditions were perfect and the flow was good with the corner man system working a treat.Just about everyone had a stack or two but the ground was soft as butter.For some unknown reason i must have had a target somewhere on me..yeah yeah..lets get Bollocks…poor Bollocks…six vs one..i love those odds :cheer: The ground was very roosterish and i did my best to fill every one in…maybe thats why i was a marked man ? :huh:
Highlite of my day was to see the Boonit trying to cut infront of me and inflict mud damage to my imediate area.In slow motion with the grace of a baby elephant ,Boony fell over directly infront of me :cheer: i applied all breaks ,including air brakes,i even deployed a parachute out of my camel pack :woohoo: ..but alas…i was gunna hit him !!!.i had thoughts of maybe hitting the throtle,as i was heading straight for his arse and i reckon i could have perhaps done a “Superman” with the amount of airtime that big butt offered.Still…i was satisfied the fact that my bike was firmly wedged up his clacker..and he was lying there on the ground,in the mud like a submisive Gimp who had been “a very naughty boy”..Victory to Bollocks :cheer:
Another great stack was Buzz riding his bike like Chainsaw the Bull.It was a sight to see.Flipped from one side to the other about 6 times before evetually crashing to the ground :ohmy: I was actually cheering for you Buzz the whole time.”Hang onto the Bastard Buzz” :ohmy: ..you mustn’t have heard me :huh: ..ahh..great stuffI think i have a crash fetish :blink:
great day out…one of the best.Good to see House back on the bike and thanks to the other monkeys who lead and handed out plenty of laughs. :laugh: :laugh:
