GaleyKTM300 secret squirrel ride.

[MalMember]

I somehow got an invite to Galeys super secret gun rider sunny corner tour. Must have been a slip of the mouse on the email list. :laugh:

Anyway it was a 2 day ride earlier this month containing as much single track as he could link up and at a fair pace too. I only rode the Saturday. Knowing Galey’s fitness level is up there with Taddy I knew one day would be enough for me.

I’m not much good at writing reports so I’ll let the videos be the report.

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3 & 4 will hopefully upload tonight and 5 is still in the production stage.

Enjoy.

Actually mate you were my first choice rider. I needed a pro for the rest to pick up some tips from.

Great day mate. Top conditions with rain leading into the hours before the ride.

I have been hanging out for your vids more than Christmas. Sweating on the rest buddy.

:laugh: :laugh:
I should be first choice sweep. It’s a challenge trying to keep you in sight on the singles mate.

Had a great day although I wasn’t happy with my rear tyre choice.

What is the best tyre for Sunny? Slippery clay , tyre munching rocky climbs, greasy tree root infested single tracks!

I do like the part 1 vid where you give Clarky a demo in the art of kick starting a GASGAS 300 at 1:38 .

Mal, obs you were taking it easy as you were still getting over the Coffs ride, you made a bad rear tyre choice, your sprockets and chain were past their best and you are still getting back to full fitness. Have I got everything?

Cheers for taking out my mishaps!

And you should know by now not to get to close to the rear of Marty400’s bike, esp on the fire trails! 👿

Yep that’s about all I think.

It is great fun riding with these guys Wolfie. We were acually all around the same pace which made for a quick flowing ride. :woohoo:

Part 3 & 4 are 11min long and ready to upload. They take anout 4 – 5 hours to upload each and part 5 is 16min long and will get uploaded tomorrow some time. I have to upload when we’re not using the computers as it slows the upload and then fails on me.

Nice speed there Mal.
You were asking for a rock in that chase for sure. Don’t give the 4 strokes any room, all they do is throw rocks and make a racket.

[craig evansMember]

cant wait for the rest when ready, i would love to be as quick and as good as you guys but after not riding for ages it will take ages to be 1/2 as good but that is the excuss for me to get out there ,thanx for more incentive

You’ll just have to come up for a ride mate. I took a newbie from work out on some of those trails last week and he did well. I had sore legs from picking his bike up a lot (bloody 4 strokes are heavy). If you want a boot camp style ride go out with Galey or I can take you on tracks more suited to your current level and throw in a few challenges.

ill hold you to that mal5.1 that sounds like fun once im back from melbourne thanx for the offer

[Nick JacksonMember]

Great vids as usual Mal , I forgot how much fun some of those trails on the birthday ride this year were :woohoo:

I really enjoy the pine singles , something we don’t have up here !

It looked like the pace was on too , I had a hell of a job keeping Galey in sight when we went to get help for Mick so I can imagine how fit you’d need to be for a 2 day ride !!!

Clearly whats sticks out for me in both of this vids is the dominance of the 2T over the 4T. You gave Clarky a head start at the end of Part 1 and early in the piece of part 2 with the race up Mick’s Hill the 2T smoked em. No footage of the 4T getting to the top of Galey’s!
