Thanks Aido

Here is Trapeze. It wasn’t that hard really, it was just very humid which sapped the energy out of you.

Sunday ride

I forgot to take my gopro with me so only had the camera out at 2 spots. I went to zoom out when LC was coming up the hill but hit the stop button istead so his is cut short.

Great footage and clean edits Jeffro. You were riding solid all weekend, especially when I saw you a few times on Sunday.

Thanks Scott,

I have had a tendency in the past to ride at or near my limit too often on group rides trying to keep up with the faster riders and wear myself out too quickly. This weekend I just went with the flow for the most part with just the occasional burst of speed.

Saturdays ride was also a cracker :woohoo:

I was a little rusty at the start with a small dismount into a puddle :pinch: to remind me to pick my game up a bit :whistle:

Everyone got along at a good pace with only a few issues which gave time for a rest and a chat

Boony twisted his knee on a log but after a bit of a rest he pushed on

Not to be out done Kevdog decided to take on a tree :ohmy: and his bike came off second best with a

leaking radiator :unsure:

Boony to the rescue with some kneadit and we slowed the flow enough for him to ride out

Trapeze was enjoyable except for the vines :huh: I managed to hook up on every single one :laugh:

I’m thankful I wasn’t at the front as Nickj had to clear all of them to get us through

The second group don’t know how easy they got it

Lunch was fantastic and that set the mood for the ride back which was on fire :woohoo:

Although I think Dejay had too many chips and his bike tossed him off in protest

but as he was suspended in the vines he never touched the ground so it wasn’t a crash :whistle:

I’m sure it was the lure of cold beverages that drove everyone on :whistle: :laugh:

Another Coffs done and dusted and it ran with the clockwork precision one comes to expect these days. Scotty and his team of helpers did an awesome job the whole weekend and it went without a hitch. SO, on that note, thank you Scott, NickJ, Spud and everyone else that put time and effort in to help out and make it what it is.

The trails were in great shape and we were lucky enough to get some overnight rain on the Thursday night to make them perfect.

Congrats to Adam for getting the Old Bull Spirit award, a well deserved accolade in my own humble opinion.

I’ll leave the rest to the reports and photo’s as they speak for themselves

Well i am a bit late but thanks again to the boys for all the planning for this ride it is certainly a hit for many. Starting with friday, I had an awesome time friday with plenty of mid pack madness was to be had as it was all weekend We did a run through my new favourite trail called sidewinder and i had a sweet flowy run through there and as scott would have notice i was smiling like a split watermelon. It never suprises me that everytime i ride there scott has a new trail i have never seen and is equally as good as the others.
Saturday i kitted up and forgot my spare camera battery so i got little footage :angry: But im sure i saw more than enough cams to cover what i missed Anyway we had a great start to saturday making great time for an early lunch until scott lead us to “nolines” Which saw more than its fair share of sweat mainly from menace hahaha Anyways we cruised over to the widowmaker and a fair share of the group gave it hell and those who didn’t quite make it certainly gave it a red hot go, I dont think mick had his diff locks in so it was a little tricky for him but a great try none the less. The single after the widowmaker was a ripper with every obsticle in the book another fav of mine. Not too long after there we rolled into trapeze which seemed to have a heap more vine then i remember :dry: I think nicks crew stitched us up and threw a few up there :laugh:

Thanks again to everyone who came and it was good to meet a few new people and catch up with some familiar faces, Certainly going to catch up with Mikes crew at the sunny coast asap!!

Well here is the clip i got,Make sure you put the quality bar up as it seems to come up in the lowest.

[scott bockingMember]

You certainly summed up your Saturday group there mate. It was on the hammer for 8 hours straight :woohoo:

STM

[WayneMember]

Well that’s just great. You blokes are off riding great Coffs trails and I’m stuck at home with a busted collar bone making Vrooom Vrooom noises in my back yard like the kid in the Honda ad.

You can all get yourselves well and truely….. :laugh: :laugh: :silly: :silly: ..Just joking :laugh: :laugh:

Good to see you all had a good time. Can’t wait to get out there riding again.

Congrats to Adam for a well deserved award

The ride report is a great read when I couldn’t get there myself

Stay upright
lotsa

Nice camera work and editing there Nato, you boys certainly hooked along some of those trails quicker than we did. I see that log almost caught Spdu out on the Saturday too, it was looking like a carbon copy of what he did on Sunday.

[ChrisMember]

What a chore that was riding my dirt bike all day then drinking beer all night :laugh:

Only joking,that was a cracker.

Those trails are awesome, nice and varied. Absolutely loved the flowing sections , the pace was on to – loved that probably to much :whistle:

Huge thanks to STM, nick, spud and rob for all your clearing trail work, organisation and making it such a top week end.

Hope your shoulder is feeling better rob.

Great photos and footage there, nice one for that. If possible, going to have to poach one of those for my profile pic. :pinch:

Always enjoy riding with the old bulls, looking forward to next time.

Cheers

Well back home from a well earned break after a big stone fruit season stayed at darlington for a few days extra after a great ride with a great bunch off mates and boony,well this was my 3rd coffs OBT ride and everyone has been a cracker but this year was the year that I had a go at the widowmaker and made it,the riding this year was perfect with the rain on thursday night scott and nick done a great job of the new and old tracks,friday ride was a great warmup for the sat ride and the conditions could not have been better had a great day but sunday was a different story did a bit of net repairs on thursday just before we left and had some water in the cherry picker I thought was all right,wrong,,don’t drink water if it’s been there a while so felt a bit off on friday, saturday bit worse sunday stuffed,well I still had a great ride and thanks to scott nick and spud super sweep and everybody involved to make this a great weekend.

bigger al

P.S hope your sholder is on the mend robb
