Plenty of survivors today but I wasn’t one of them. The day started badly when the magic button lost it’s magic before we even started but I was able to kick start it all day (not something I wanted to go back to
), then had a flat tyre in the first 10 minutes. The trails to the gap sevo are getting longer and longer as Murph and Smurph find or make new ones but don’t eliminate the old ones. By the time we got to the servo I was exhausted so after lunch I hit the tar back to Murphs as did Justo and Dan went straight home.Big thanks to Murph for leading and Dude for sweeping all day, I got some video that I will post once I have sorted the Wheat from the chaff. For now though I need a good nights rest to recover, haven’t even cleaned the bike or gear, just shoved it in the shed and locked the door.
A really good day out in the bush.
Got of to a slow start.
I never realised that from Wallsend to Buttaba was over 70 kms.
Diddle can verify that.. 😆
As Jethro said the trails across to the Gap were many and varied. Lots of beaut singles.
Some snoty hills but nothing unridable. (Always an easy way round the tough bits)
It was hard to believe that we covered some 50 odd ks before arriving at the Gap.Managed one photo in this bit of Dude boiling the billy after rounding up stragglers on one of the steeper bits.
If you look closely you can see the steam.
Then onto lunch & top up fuel at the Gap
After lunch, down to a crew of seven and off into the Wattagan forest, destination “Amozan”.
Our sweep kept saying there is an easy way round..So we duly arrived at the Amozan, a three part challenging hill rating about 10 out of 5.
I dogged this bit & left the trusty 400 to rest at the bottom of the hill along with the sweep husky. Part 1 difficult
Part 2 more difficult
Part 3 Even more difficult
5 of group actually got up the hill with some pushing , pulling etc etc
Once Part 3 was beaten Dude and I rode some easy trails to meet the rest of the crew just prior to the Bangalow part of the ride. However the time had beaten us
and a decision made to head for home.The home run was a shortened version of the original trails from Buttaba to the Gap.
Great Ride Murph & thanks to our sweep Dude ..
