    A Dudes View B)

    Went for a ride with Big Hol on Friday. :)
    It was a good ride down memory lane for me cause I used to ride some of the Hillsbour trails went I was a lad Development has taken over most of the bush but that’s progress I guess, :unsure:

    Up Munniebung hill and if nothing else the views from here are worth going on this ride alone …… :ohmy: but there’s more much more :laugh: yes
    Have you ever ridden on trails that are a meter deep in Kykurie grass unable To see the trail? :dry:

    Quite an experience……. :dry:
    .anyway rode thru Telralba back into the bush a bit dusty and slippery but ok cause there was only the 2 of us, I reckon ‘Big Hol’ should be called ‘Hillclimb Hol’ :laugh: cause we took on nearly all types of near vertical climbs that day.

    Got to gap via Razorback and had a nice lunch :cheer:
    then wondered back via different trails done around 85 kms and must say the
    Pivot Pegs :cheer: worked a treat I like them cause easy on ankles and you always were well balanced on the bike.

    A good ride and I would recommend Big Hols rides.

    Nice report Dude.

    Yes it’s scary riding through long grass mate. :S

    Glad you like the pivot pegs. I think they make me feel balanced as well. :)

    I joined Aust Blues ‘SUPERMAN off Razorback club’ :ohmy:

    Not a club I recommend anyone else join.

    It a long way to fly with your eyes closed. :laugh:

    Ouch!!

    Did you hurt yourself or just the bike?

    It’s a very daunting decent off those rocks. But you’ve done it heaps of times.

    ohh body armour and knee braces saved the day and I can now walk again so all good. ;)
    About the fall; Big hol was leading and we got to the drop and he was lineing up to go down a the soft way and I said ‘like someone who thought he knew what he was saying’. :dry:
    “Hol just drop down the hill”
    he said “show me” :huh:
    and I went past him
    and just like AB The front wheel was sliding a bit sideways a out of no where a negative thought entered my head that was
    ‘bail’ what a dumb thought. :angry:
    but I just f**ked up. :unsure:

    Hol said “Nah dont wanna try that. Ill go down my own way thanks dude” :P

    Nice work Dude,
    another Razorback victim. You wont be the last.

    part of what worries me about it is that by the time you get to it , your pretty well stuffed and ready for lunch. It only takes a little fatigue or slip to get yourself in trouble.
