It is dry and loose which adds to the challenge. Today will be a big one with 120 km’s planned. There will be plenty of reports and pics to come. Lets just hope eveyone forgets about my 7 attempts on one big hill. :ohmy:

orrr
I thought with the heading there was going to be a truck involved :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:andy
Sounds like Mike kept his usual form mate !!!
Looking forward to the pics

So another years ride done and hopefully it was enjoyed by everyone
With the crew arriving at the campsite by midday it wasn’t long before we were gearing up and heading out for a few hours
with dry and dusty conditions (like the rest of Australia!!) I tried to find a few non dusty tracks but they were hard to find :unsure: we got into some singles which led us to the first hill :blink: we ended up spending about 45mins on this hill as the numbers at the top slowly grew as did the heckling as riders madetheir attempts
From here we did a selection of stuff with some really nice singles and a loop round past the mx track and a climb up the hill by the side which everyone made without a problem :ohmy: this is by no means an easy hill so
After covering 50ks we made our way back to the campsite for a few beers :sick:Sunday report to come
It was a good weekend with a good crew to ride with. It was nice to see Scotty, Nato and Spud again and also meet the new faces as well.
The ride both days had a good pace only ally hindered by the dust which was unescapable. Mike did a great job of linking up the trails though and finding more stuff for us all to ride, I don’t think I’ve ridden about 40% of those trails and I’ve been living up here 6 months!
The hills were loose and shaley but we all got up in the end, one way or the other. Next year we’ll have to do a 3 dayer with a Monday ride in as well, not sure if my air filter could take anymore punishment though
Thanks to Damo also for sweeping almost all of the 2 days. Not pics or vid from me but I’m looking forward to Nato, Scotty and Spuds efforts when they get the chance.
Until next time……
The big ride this year took us from kenilworth over to Imbil and back to kenilworth covering 120ks.
With the days temperature rising to 33c :ohmy: it was going to be a big days riding , with only 8ks covered we hit the first hill of the day which caught a few guys out including lee :ohmy: .
We got going again and covered 25ks of flowing fast tracks without too many problems and by the time we got to the next challenging hill ,everyone got up without a drama although moto did have a close moment :whistle: .
We headed over to a peach section of singles that we did last year and after doing it with the cornerman,we all did it again flat out!! :ohmy: being the lead I didn’t see anyone until I over ran a corner and Lee flew up the inside and in the blink of an eye he was gone :woohoo:didn’t even know he was there :S shit he’s quick :blink: the next section was a rocky creek bed which I found 2 weeks ago and was awesome, enjoyed by all even after I stalled on the side of the creek bank and fell into the water it was still awesome
This led us into some singles and then over to a massive downhill section which generally lead to a massive uphill, I thought this might cause a few problems but apparently it didnt :blink:
Lunch was next and much needed after covering 72ks
On the way back I tried to find some less dusty ground but with lots of dozer work going on and meeting up with a group of 230 4x 4s in the forest it wasn’t easy.
We finally got to some nice tracks which took us home :cheer:
Thanks for the weekend guys was very enjoyable bring on the vids boys :woohoo:
