A few more singles a cpl of rough climbs we were on a flowing single again till we ended up in a dry swamp,were we were deciding to turn around or keep going decion was keep going so of we went and not to far up we ran into a lock gate so we turned around head back to another track to a wet boggy creek which we all got through ,off we headed again were everybody got through a rocky section which galey asked do you want me to ride it for you ,with adrenlin flowing high i said it fine ill give it ago and made it to the top by this time we wernt that far from camp so a quick run down a fire trail to were galey did another run on his faverite rock [ grabhans rock] then back into camp for a bite fuel up rest and by this time 2banger arrived on his bike after a lone run after arriving after everybody had left camp in the morning, desion time came and i pulled the pin on the late arvo run as i didnt want to over do it [medical reasons] ,i said my goodbyes as i would be gone b4 they get back ,as i was packing up ktmrules group arrived in camp and it was great listening to there stories when scotty arrived said hi had a chat, then scotty and i headed of to pull some young idiots out of a bog 👿 :angry: no brains ,back in camp finshed loading up and said good byes to who were there and then made my way home, a huge thanks must go to galey who gave me more comfidence in myself and what i can do on a bike and the same for all those who helped me on saturday also, so any of you lesser grade riders out there [g2/3] like me you would be crazy not to jump on 1 of his rides if he offers
thanks heaps wolfie
ps hope we can do it again keep me in mind pleaseDecember 10, 2012 at 10:09 am #233598Guys…WOW. Two pages of the RR with a tonne of pics from KTM and a super report from Wolfie.
Just quickly, a big thanks to all that came along for a ride, camp, beer, bundy or cruiser. Especially KTM_Rules who led two super rides and took a heap of pics and videos. I really appreciate it mate.
That pic of Mick on the Tough Hill is fit for a poster!
Wolfie, you keep getting better every time you ride. Adam better watch out on Wednesday!
I have a copy of Wolfie’s footage and will post it up for him later.
The lads are keen for a repeat session twice next year, so stay tuned for a gap to open up in the OBT 2013 ride calendar.
I gotta say it……The riding is better than Sunny Corner! :pinch:
Galey RR later on.
Cheers

December 10, 2012 at 11:36 pm #233539Sunday G3 Ride 👿
Woke up to see Galey changing his rear tyre. Cooked eggs and sausage for breakfast.
Started with 7 riders around 9am, Bob, Mick, Scotty, GaleyKTM300, Twobanger, White Rocket and me. Today we did about 75Km’s on the Ben Bullen SF side of Wolgan road. It was hot and in the late afternoon it rained and cooled things down which was a relief. Twobanger pulled the pin first, with Galey’s Saturday ride taking too much out of him. Next to go was Scotty, when he realised where he was and how to get back to the cars. Again we covered about 90% of sweet flowing singles with a few more rests than Saturday as this was a G3 ride. Here’s some photo’s with a video to follow once edited.December 10, 2012 at 11:39 pm #233540Sponsored By Krusty
