Just Thought Id start this. I have no pictures but there were plenty of camera’s, hopefully a few pictures will get posted.
What a great day, As expected Murph put on a great run with plenty of technical hill climbs,single trails & down hills. If you have never been on a Murph ride it’s a must do. Be ready for the “It get’s a bit harder further up comment” as he really means that! :ohmy: 70km, about 7 hrs… Great riding, no dust & no injuries . What more could you want! I will sleep well tonight as it was exhausting.
Loved it :woohoo:
Thanks Murph
February 16, 2013 at 10:12 am #236836I’m absolutely shagged :S
A top day a top crew only two flats (same tyre same time) :whistle: :pinch:
A couple of good challenges, the harder ones I bypassed the second video will show you why :sick:
Good to meet some new riders who’s names I’ve seen often
And a couple of new guys who picked an interesting ride for an introduction :laugh:
Thanks Murph for leading / organizing the ride and for Dude for his sweeping, and accompanying me on the two bypasses :silly: what a top bloke
Thanks to everyone else for a fun day :woohoo:
I didn’t get much helmet cam as the video will show :huh: :whistle: :pinch:

February 16, 2013 at 9:56 pm #236863Thankyou everbody for showing up and making it the day that it was. :woohoo:
Conditions were perfect as many other riders were met also out having fun
Did most of the singles down to the Basin and then on to concrete hill
Many more singles with a few challenging sections then around the Koala Trail, more single then on to to one of the main challenges, Bar Hill. 👿
The first section was done by all with varying degrees of success. :pinch:
Our sweep, Dude informed me that Stuart had left so I think we were down to 11
The second part of the hill is the crux with only Tim (who flipped his 200 big time trying to conquer the hard way), Thrillseeker, Mick25, Tryhard (blitzed it), Mickktm300 (who had many attempts but obviously was not going to let it beat him) CJ and myself. Well done fella’s. :woohoo: :woohoo:
Dude led Joe, Troy and Adam around the easier option “B”
After successfully regrouping we then rode down to the valley floor where we lost Mickktm300, who had taken off left. We waited a while knowing he would return when he came to the gate.
It was then a bit of transport to the next challenge, Wave Rock.
We did that and again Tim made it up the harder option.
Met Dude and Adam who took the easier option heading towards the next single, Joe and Troy had left them for the cars.
We did the next sweet little single, using Tims hand saw to remove a problem sappling that had blocked the track.
Next challenge was Farrells 3. Left Dude and Adam here and at the top of this hill Tryhard, Mickktm300 and myself left the hardcore young fella’s for the cars and they went on to do another nasty hill. Good onya boys. :woohoo:
Cold drinks were consumed, packed up and headed for home.
Thanks again Tryhard, Thrillseeker, Mick25, Joe and Troy (hope ya didn’t scratch that brand new Berg), Stuart, Adam, our great sweep for the day Dude, Mickktm300, CJ and Tim
Hope to see ya’s again on another one of our rides
Cheers
