Started the day with a short stint around the back of Eraring Power Station with Austblue and Gary. Gary rides a roady but is keen to get back into dirtbikes. We did a small loop of 15kms with Gary coming off once :ohmy: Hope he is alright and that doesn’t deter him :woohoo:
The main ride comenced on time and we headed out to Awaba for our first set of singles. The group flowed well. Thanks Dude for doing the sweep dutiesBefore we new it we were out at the first single loop at Wakey. Pulled up at the base of the hill where there were two 4wds, one of which was busted up
There wasn’t anything we could do for them so we all powered up the hill with no incidents :woohoo: The second loop towards Westy saw everyone tackling the snotty rocky downhills easily :woohoo:
Some open stuff to get to Razoback which claimed poor Austblue againDon’t quite know what happened but it seemed as though he got a bit untidy at the top of drop and maybe tried to throttle his way out of it :ohmy: It didn’t work and he came to greif sort of doing a superman over his bike :unsure: Razorback 2 – Austblue 0 :blink: Diddel and Moto took the softer RH option with only Tim, Dude and myself riding the steeper section. Not to be outdone Moto has a go at riding up it :ohmy: :silly: Bloody good attempt but no cigar with he a and his bike sliding back down the rock face :ohmy:
Lunch was had at the Gap and it was off down the Southside for some more fun :woohoo: Did Tims and my steep little single before saying goodbye to Dude at Becks Rd. On the way out to Bangalow Austblues TM stops and after some mucking around we end up leaving him (Thanks Austblue for insisting we continue without you) Did the loop around Bangalow where Tim and I had a quick swim in the dam and Moto takes a nasty off on a particular snotty downhill. He took another hit to his already injured knee (ouch!!) and put a huge ding in the expansion chamber. Met up with Austblue on the way back, tinkered again with the broken TM to no avail. Rode home at a good pace considering the fatigue and heat of the day. Moto took Austblues car back out for the rescue mission and on there return we all had a cold drink and a chat before saying goodbye.
Thanks all for making it an enjoyable day
Hope Mal can post some pics later
Also hope to see some footage from Austblue and Dude
Cheers
