July 5, 2009 at 10:12 am #142225Well spose I better do a bit of a ride report for the weekend,, the last reccy ride for nundle was held today, It all started to look a bit how ya going when first, I realized that I had left my phone/camera at home and Pete(crash) left his wallet and camel pack at home,, quick about face and we soon had peters camel pack sorted. Plan was to meet at 7.30 and then travel up together, all was going to plan until Steve looked like being a no show,, straight on the phone and abused him via message bank only to find out that he had rang my phone at 3.00 am to cancel his day..
8 of us headed up
Peter (crash the Tamworth version) KTM 250
Billy (splash) TTR 230
Demmis TTR 250
Bollocks XR 400
Boony DRZ 400And 3 other guys that Steve had organized for the ride,, buggered If I can remember their names,, only young fellows but quite decent and boy could they ride.
We headed of down paddies fire trail only to met by a hill they apparently call big mamma,, ask bollocks?I could not get up this thing and decided to do a u turn and look for an alternate route.
When we finally got back on track the ride just didn`t seem to want to flow. We would be stopped for all sorts of things,,IE, TTR230 with a broken spark plug cap, the xr want to flood when not upright,, and trust me we all had turns of being not upright. Any way we soldiered on and finally got to start to enjoy the single trails,, Your gunna love them (I hope), We came to a very steep very long downhill section leading to the creek crossings, this downhill would be 3 ks long and you nearly need a parachute to descend it,,, Bugga me dead if Bollocks had to do it with no front break.. Turned out to be intermittent and righted its self later on, but thumps up boll what an awesome effort. Got to the berry patch and we have organized a BBQ lunch when we arrive there on the Saturday.
Menu for lunch is as follows
Gourmet sausages (on a bun)
Chicken wing bits
Coleslaw
Salad
Berry Ice-cream with berry pie and apparently it`s Berry nice.(the guys had this today and they said it was tops)
A hot or cold drink from the selection.Cost will be $20.00 per head.
Let me know your thoughts on this please..Left the berry patch and head for the rest of the loop, bar a few trees across the track the ride started to really gain momentum, we rode some different trails on the way back to the cars and these all seem to be pretty good. Day nearly ruined by the narny scoring a flat 5 Ks from the truck.
Sorry about no photos but as I said I left the camera at home, Bollocks took some and I`m sure he will post them up soon.. Bring on Old Bulls in Nundle…..
Cheers

Boony and i survived todays ride around the Nundle state forest.AWSOME DAY !!!You guys are going to have the time of your life.There was eight of us in total today ,3 young guns and 5 old farts.Spent a bit of time on my arse,hit a tree,rolled down a hill,did a body slide on a nice piece of greasy clay and had a few little awkward dropsies(logistical dismounts) but it was all good.Boony knows the trails pretty well and i have great confidence in him leading us into the sh#t and out of it again.i sure he will put a post in when he gets out of the bath, once the epsom salts no longer have the desired effect.
I managed to fire off a few quick snaps of the day,hope they get you primed !!!!!
Bol:woohoo:July 5, 2009 at 10:20 am #142313Good onya Boony,nice report!!
Sounds like the planned Nundle ride will be a beauty.
