With the boy’s heading up from Sydney shortly, we thought we best find some trails to equal or better last visit.
So some new single trail with some hills was required,………….here is one hill we found
This hill busted Tripper630 though, he stalled the XR half way up and anyone that has ever ridden an XR600 will know if you stall one on a hill ,it is back to the bottom and kick and kick until you get her started.
Tripper got it to go again and made it to the top after about 150 failed kicks. The hill is about 1km long and we could hear him swearing from the top !!!
One day I will actually show him how to find TDC.He He
Any pussy can get a motocrosser to the top of a hill but there is a degree of perverted satisfaction from actually getting a XR600 to the top of a snotty hill, as you can see from the satisfaction written all over Chris’ face……….
The thing with XR600’s is that you can see your line, you can pick your line,
you can steer the XR in the direction of the chosen line and at the last minute the XR will pick it’s own line and that is usually via the biggest rut,or over the biggest rock or root in the trail. The challenge is to stay attached to the bike while it bucks and kicks and snorts it’s way up the hill!!!
Anyhow once Tripper got to the top we had no more dramas for a while until I decided to see what was down a track we hadn’t done before. It started out as a normal fire trail that petered out into a nice little single trail.
Trouble was, it petered out into a barely distinguishable trail up a hill covered in reeds of some sort, growing in the stickiest red clay imaginable and in no time my knobbies had filled up with shitty clay and my back tyre was resembling a racing slick.
The old XR broke traction half way up and that was me bogged to the balls, so after 5 minutes of revving and swearing, I conceded defeat and we turned around , beaten by the hill.
To Chris’ credit he made it another 30 meters up the hill further than me after his XR picked a better line than mine even with a knobbie that is pretty well stuffed.
The ride had no more trying moments from there on and the conditions were great,here is a pic of a nice creek crossing we have found for when the Sydney lads come up.
Just to finish the ride off nicely we came home via the rutt trail,which was as much fun as always,
Ant impessed us all and came down the rutt twice as fast as anyone else has ever done it and made it look easy. (He wasn’t on an XR though).
Well you Sydney guys, I reakon we have a nice little 100k + loop for your next visit.
Ant and a mate are going out again today to see what else he can find, my kids are racing motocross so that’s where I will be today.
