Thanks to all who went last weekend and to the young and old bulls that did the pushing and pulling to get the bikes through the tricky sections.
Great bunch of blokes and I had a great time.
I don’t think many photos were taken because we were too busy riding.
Where did we go?
Day 1 Easter Friday
Started from Lemon Tree at about 9.30am and went straight into the rocky uphill section of Tunks where the photos above are and reached Watagan Forest Road at the top. We missed the inpassable log section of Tunks so I don’t know if the logs are still down. They were a month ago.
We then followed single trail along Watagan Forrest Rd to the Pines and on to the Koala Trail and Letter A via some of the state enduro trails. It was a bit of tar to Jerry’s Garage for lunch and fuel and a chat with a highway cop who I assured we were all regoed and licenced.
Back to the letter A for some more state enduro trails. By this time I was getting weary so we altenated between main trail and single trail back to Tunks where it was easier going down than up. We were back at the cars at a bit after 5pm.
Day 2 Easter Saturday
Left from Lemon Tree a bit after 9am and headed off through Frog Hollow for a couple of steepish hills to start the day which everyone did easily. At 5 Ways we went down the snotty hill and did a few trails and another hill and then took Mandalong Rd to Tobins Rd and did the trails around the behives which took us back to 5 Ways.
We scooted along the main track Lemon Tree Rd where I could hear different bikes coming up behind me so there must have been some action going on back there.
We went down some single trail to a rocky section where the Green Machines radiator decided leak. Holeshot wittled up a couple of plugs and we were on our way again up past Muirs Lookout and the old Nationals trails to The Pines.
A few single trails and we went down Wave Rock without incident bringing us out onto Watagan Creek Rd where there was another group of riders with a four stroke blowing lots of smoke. It had just been upside down on the trail that I was going to take if I couldn’t find Wave Rock. Lucky I found Wave Rock.
Followed Watagan Creek Rd for a bit then found the trail up the hill towards Millfield where we fueled the bikes. At the Ellalong pub we fueled ourselves. It was a bit of a wait for lunch but it was worth it. The meals are pretty big there.
Back to Paxton and up Cungewoi track which is hard going in one section. By this time storm clouds were coming and it was getting dark so we main trailed from Watagan Camping area back to Tunks which we went down with just enough light and back to the cars at 5.30pm.
cheers
lotsa
