    Cool start to the morning, but we all new it wouldn’t stay that way for long.
    Started with a full crew except CJ. :sick:
    It was great to add our latest single and things flowed well.
    Did mostly singles out to our first hill, Amazon and yes it still amazes me.
    Everybody did the first 2 stages without much incident. :woohoo:
    Stage 3 sorts the boys out though and there was a bit of carnage.
    Tim rode the mad far right section but he is crazy. :blink: :ohmy: :woohoo:
    Justo’s bike wasn’t playing the game and with a flat battery we all took turns kicking life into her every time he stalled. (May be worth checking the v/v clearances, Justo. It was bloody hard to start) :sick: :pinch:
    Justo and Gavb left us for home at the top of Amazon which in turn changed our plan and we opted not to do Slippery Rock and Congo. We ended up down in Bangalow with a new/old hill climb challenge. I went first but got caught on a wrong line and watched my son go blipping past. :angry: Thrillseeker made it a little further but had to turn around and have another go as did I. Mick25 hit it with gusto and managed to get up the gnarly section.
    It was then a reasonably fast section back to Freemans for fuel and a footlong Subway.
    Note to self, a footlong is about 3 inches to long. :sick: :sick:
    Next challenge was Razorback. 👿
    The four of us made it up the two very gnarly rock sections with varying success but at least there was 4 of us at the top. We then headed for home taking in a lot more ST.
    Home around 4:00pm so we only spent about 8 hours (98km) on the bikes but that was enough. :whistle:
    Thanks to all for coming along.
    Hope to see Justo and Gavb out on another one of our rides one day soon. B)
    Maybe some pics to come later
    Cheers

    Sorry Dickie
    If you have the patience of a saint you may/I may get the piccy’s happening. (After all, it is a Saturday night, on a long weekend, after a bloody great ride. Just trieing to get my breath back. B) )
    Love the keen thoughts that there may be carnage though. :whistle:
    I’m sure thats what you were thinking. :woohoo:
    Carnage without injury or damage to machine is always worthy of a few pics.
    So be it

    Sorry about the time zone on these pics. :blush: This one is of Thrillseeker on a particular gnarly section before we got to Amazon. This hill is broken up into different stages so we know what the hell is going on and where. Even Thrillseeker said “I didn’t even make stage 0.5”. On saying that he smashhed the rest of the hill/mountain. :woohoo:
