did you take the two wheeled compressor out mate, did you get blown round much??
August 23, 2009 at 8:49 am #149677Yes i took the two wheeled compressor.it was a pleasant short ride weather was fine with no wind.Dont know what was on at calder park but there was cars everywhere.
August 23, 2009 at 8:49 am #149678I took the wooly beemer out today through Ourimbah forest and up to Jerrys for a cappucino, as one does.
It was perfect for a criuse through the bush and country side.August 23, 2009 at 8:55 am #149679Gili and I took some mesh some steel pegs a Machete and a chainsaw down Panadol Hill and repaired some ruts and built a bridge to stop the erosion happening. The walk out back up Panadol give me a headache and nearly heart failure:blink: We then went to our secret track and rode down it and hooked it up with another beauty,although this new bit of track is not for the faint hearted easily grade 5 all up we did 35kms on the bikes and about 5 kms on foot.Bloody hot and dusty. On the way home we nearly cleaned up a couple of kids on MX bikes:angry: riding up the main Watagan Forest Rd and they wonder why we are losing riding areas:( Thats my rant
Im going to bed Im rooted:unsure:

It’s quite solid but has about an eight foot long gap in the middle. The good news is I got permission to use the Ushers land and got through from Berangi Road to Maria River road and from there it’s only a short road stint to Limeburners and through to Plomer road. Happy DaysGood effort Kram;) I will be up there in a months time,Gassy will be on the UteB)

AnonymousGood work on the repair job Ollie/Gili, we should all be doing some of that. I had a 2 minye rip on the bike whilst helping Tyne learn to ride
I did do a 14Km round trip on the road to get there though
August 23, 2009 at 9:23 am #149696I got some time in on the NX checking out some tracks for next weeks ride, made even more enjoyable when I found out Moto had stuffed up and was driving out to Pacific Park after looking at Tyne’s bike to check out next weeks Australian Trials Championship :laugh: that cracked me up because he wouldnt believe me, should have let ya drive out there
. Still the drive through Wisemans in the taxi would have been fun
, plenty of torque steer coming up out of the divi :ohmy:

As Moto said we all should put a bit of effort in to preserve our riding areas especially the good ones:)
Cheers fella’s

I really love going to freeflight, there is something there for everyone no matter what your skill level is. I think I also love the simplicity of the place, just need to take your bike, food & tent and your set for a weekend of no fuss riding and camping:)I am happy to say I now have blisters on my hands instead of bruises on my arms & legs. I focused on the techiques alot over the weekend and learnt alot. I am going to continue to practice as it is the best way to become better, while having heaps of fun!!!!!
I am really looking for to Louee, I hope it is like Freeflight, especially with the choice of tracks like we have been treated to this weekend.
As one of our friends said today, you go on 1 track & have heaps fun, then you go to another track & it’s Christmas all over again!!!
