Crash caressing the 250 up a loamy sth coast hill on the 2nd run :SVids to follow as well.
Cheers to Hatto and his bikie gang, Paul and his family for putting up with us, and the pros on the ride. Good times.
Another nice ride down the coast.
Thanks heaps to Hatto, Pauly and everyone who made the trip.
It was a “clockwork orange” as me and Crash were surrounded by 7 KTMs (even though my bike is KTMs dirty blue cousin
)I hope the South Coast loam was worth the trip Galey, you seemed to be loving it.
Crash was reveling in the conditions and thankful that he wasn’t manhandling the big XR through the tight, moist and sometimes steep rocky conditions (thanks for the lift maaate)
Unfortunately there wasn’t any hills that Galey couldn’t make it up
You Boys look like ya’s had a great day. :woohoo:
I reckon you have more fun in the rain.
Yesterday was heaps of fun for us too.
Whats with all the orange bikes?
Looks like a rash.
Hope to see more WR’s out and about soon.
Dare I say it, but there is just too much orange lately. :whistle:
Cheers
MurphAfter the rain we have had down here, last week was a ripper,
sun and wind, just what was required for a local ride to show some visitors our trails, I was pumped and ready to go. Sitting on the lounge on friday night have a bundy or 4 :whistle: it started to rain, with thunder and lightning. just a storm I thought -perfect. :huh: At 11pm it was still raining and after watching the mighty Dragons decimate the pussy cat tigers it was time to hit the bed. Not a good sleep(too excited) :whistle: but rain was still falling and I knew this would make it interesting for the day ahead. (50mm Rain) :blink:
Up at 6am and down to Pauly’s by 7.30 (thanks Dahle for the coffee), and like clockwork the boys started arriving, meet and greet, dressed and ready to go. 8.30am precission, planning. (galey just made it in time) :dry: :whistle: . Gocman, whats doing, blokes our age are suppost to have conditioning, man you are ripped- you really need to get off the roids :laugh: your a disgrace to the over 40’s looking so fit and healthy 
Quick breifing and we were off, five mins through town and onto the powerlines, first little section (we call bodies in the Barrels) and come to the first water/boghole for the day, Now this changes everytime we go through there and being in the lead the guinnea pig for line,anything could happen but we all got through. 100 mtres on and boghole No2, I thought we all got through so dropped a couple of corners on some nice flowing track. stopped for a regroup, having a chat with Gocman-no one is coming, decide to limp back and it’s discovered, Galey has an airbox full of mudsludge :S and Pauly with some water-sorted and back into it.. I could hear some bikes of in the distance and knowing that it is fast and flowing warn everbody. :ohmy: Get to the top and Ken and Ian are there waiting for us, they weren’t coming because KOB but since that was cancelled, decided to join us, off to log cabin for a quick top up of fuel and into the days riding.hatto
To Be continued
Part 2
Off we head into a beutifull little single and it was wet both on the ground and on the trees. One of the pitfall when leading in wet conditions is copping all the water on the leaves as you brush past
and by the end of this section I may as well have jumped in the pool before leaving :sick: , but everybody was enjoying themselves so we press on. This next part is high speed flowing FT, there were plenty of roos out, :angry: but with 9 pipes barking down the trails they were getting the Hell outa there fast.
Next single is a work in progress, now well defined but the amount of rain and humidity we have had down here this summer, some serious re-grothe has been happening- looks like a vist by the trail fairiers is required. through goat track-couple of nice creek crossings and almost to the end, we find our first tree down. out with the saw, Galey and crash jump off, get a new line sorted :whistle: and continue on. Way to go guysFrom here it’s another fast flowing link with a couple of creeks which by the end had Galey Yahooing :laugh: . Here we turn into a fairly new sinle which is one of the most slippery tracks you will ride, it always feels like you have a flat and if you are off the bike you struggle to stay on you feet, (aye Crash) :laugh: This track is only about 5km,s long but we emerged from it at 11.50 am so we soaked up some time in there- did I mention it was slippery, it was like two female jelly wrestlers on lino 😆
Crash you need longer legs mate :woohoo:On to a hill called Prozac, and those who rode it understand, It a switchback track dropping off the side of a cliff, rock boulders, off camber corners and steep but not very long. i knew it would be interesting b ut we all got through. This is where Pauly had his little menapausel moment and when he got to the bottom the dummy hit the ground, :sick: . I had commented to the others his exact words when he caught us and right on que, he let fly with some language which would make kevin Bloody Wilson cringe 😆
but all was good, I knew they would love the track from here on with 2 ripper hills to finish off our accent out of the valley.Time for lunch – all were hungry
