Basin Run 14-3-15

[murph the surfMember]

Great run around our loop
Hope I didn’t keep the young guns waiting too long
Did all the singles down to the Basin and even though some were overgrown after the wet summer, most were in great condition with the rain we had over the past couple of days :woohoo:
From the Basin it was onto Concrete Hill and then we did a hill we don’t usually do 👿
A lot more singles with a few gnarly bits eventually led us down Pro Hill and around the Koala Trail
More singles to Bar Hill which is always a good challenge 👿 👿 👿
Down Great North Walk and around to Wave Rock. The bridge has now collapsed and there is only half left standing. Hope that section doesn’t collapse :ohmy:
Wave Rock is another good challenge 👿 👿 Then we were off down an obscure single before hitting Hell Hill. 👿 👿 👿 :woohoo:
With only three of us we covered ground quickly with very little rests :sick: :woohoo: :woohoo:
Left the cars a bit after 8:00am and were back a bit before 1300
Top ride
Thanks Sam and Tim
Pics to come
Cheers

Nice pics Murph
I was at the bridge last sunday and it wasn`t that bad then, it obviously collapsed afer the flogging down on Wed night :whistle:

There were a group of Jeep 4×4`s crossing it last week, they`ll not be crossing it again :laugh: :laugh:

It will suck when it`s totally gone :S

Hey Eags
Tim and I have already sussed out an alternative to the bridge
But it will take some work with slings :sick:
Maybe not much of an option for an adventure bike :laugh: :laugh:
Cheers

Nice photo’s & report Murph.

How does that new Sherco of Sam’s go?

Thanks for the ride Murph, it was a top day.

Conditions were perfect. Good fun chasing Tim, and Murph was never far behind. Have never covered that sort of terrain so quick before.

The Sherco is awesome Ben. I got the 250 factory model. Has a good spread of power and turns really well in the singles. Feels different to ride at first but after you get used to it you don’t wanna get off the thing. This was my first hard hills ride on it and was happy with the low down grunt. :woohoo:

Sam.

Cheers,

Nick
