im trying to write my report
September 15, 2010 at 1:17 pm #187433Alrighty. here’s my crack at a ride report. The other reports are awesome and really show what a great Boony puts on.
Menace arrived Thursday arvo and we got straight into fitting his dampener and tyres over a few drinks. Friday morning we headed for the grass track so Menace could run in the engine a bit before unleashing it on Nundle. The rain started to get heavy so we only did a few laps and packed up for the road trip. :woohoo:
First stop on the road trip was Merriwa for lunch. The pubs bistro was closed so we headed for the RSL and had lunch with the old cronies while watching a bit of daytime telly :S . Then it’s off to Nundle. Menace had his Tom Tom loaded with Ozzy Osbournes voice which made the trip very funny. :laugh:
We got into Nundle Tourist Park to find Boony and the boys already on the beers. Met some new bulls and caught up with the old ones. Accommodation had been swapped around and we were staying in the Eagles nest :woohoo: . Unpacked and straight in to the beers. Then off to the Pub for a great feed.
The circle of knowledge was on fire Friday night. The problems of the world were sorted once again. Boony was stressing over leading the ride, Eagle had very wobbly wings, Dude was well the Dude, Aaron loves fires, Pep goes to bed with Big Dog, Buzz hung in there as long as he could, Meance and Bollocks bounced off each other all night long like two school kids. Bollocks even had a crash just to show he can do it without a bike. The keen ones kicked on to about 2am I think. :woohoo:
The circle of knowledge on Friday night
The fire pit
Bollocks post crash pics.
Lord Kato dropped in to keep an eye on Menace. :silly:
And Bollocks got the Lords interest too.
More to come.
September 15, 2010 at 1:22 pm #187445Saturday and we’re up early and straight into bacon and eggs. Geared up and Boony gives the ride briefing.
Then we’re off into some sweet wet fire trails. The tracks just got better and better, up and down hills, single tracks here and there and some great flowing tracks. Boony took us to a fire tower high up in the hills. It was agreat view over the area.
Lookout Jeffro :ohmy:
Lazy Spider on the rocks.
Riding along in the pack just enjoying the tracks and scenery when Menace would sneak up and stick a wheel in for look. From then on it was a race to the next corner :woohoo: . We would try and go around rider as calmly as we could (I don’t like roasting other guys) and then back into it. Occasionally I would hang back with Pep (he was chief sweep for the morning) after sitting on a corner and have a play. We would ride side by side and just mucking around trying to pop wheelies to the next corner, race the next puddle (Pep is the master of the puddle) and jump off any bump we could find. Plain good fun. :woohoo: :woohoo:
One memorable run I had with Menace was on a nice flowing open fire trail. Boony had stopped for a regroup and when we got going Menace and I found ourselves out in front with Boony a fair way ahead. We started to up the pace on each other until we had both 2 strokes screaming. We were both in full commitment mode and side by side for most of it. Sliding into and out of corners, lifting the front wheel out of corners and jumping the table drains :woohoo: . All this for a few kms catching Bonny slowly until he took the wrong turn at a fork and hit the anchors just as we were coming up on him :ohmy: . Made for some scaring emergency braking, but we are all experienced and Boony held a straight line while Menace and I sailed past (one each side of Boony) with the back wheels nearly in the air. Thanks for the awesome run Meance, it was one of the best.
We had a few water crossings and on one of them Buzz decided his WR needed a wash (inside and out). :laugh:
After the WR was dewatered we headed to the Berry Patch for lunch. Boony had organised an awesome lunch in a great location. The girls put on a BBQ with warm rolls and salad. When we finished the BBQ they brought out berry ice cream with fresh berries on top. How good is that! Boony had also organised for the Berry Patch to get some fuel for us which was very handy as I was very close to reserve. We left the Berry Patch a bit late so Boony took us the quick way home and got himself a flat front tyre on the way.
There were signs in the bush for the ‘good’ riders way and then Menaces way.
Once back at the park we hit the beers again then the showers then the Pub for a great feed and then more beers. Back to the park about 10pm and off to the circle of knowledge/fire. Pep, Aaron and Dude cut some wood before going to the Pub, but it was a bit damp so Aaron got a run down on Moto’s fire starting technique :huh: . The videos will tell that story. The circle of knowledge finished around 3:30am with me and Menace trying to wake Eagle up.
Up at 7am for more bacon and eggs, geared up and fuelled up and off for a suck it and see ride. Boony had some idea of where he wanted to take us and all the Tamworth guys had a go at leading. We did some very slippery fire trails, some nice flowing fast trail and some tight single track. Pep was on fire with the puddles. Any chance he got to drown someone he took. We were all getting tired and sore by lunch time and the travellers were keen to get on the road, so we headed back to the cabins. We packed up, had a few beers and a shower and headed off for Moto’s place.
September 15, 2010 at 1:28 pm #187446Sunday night we had more beers with Moto til late in the evening. Murph and wickedbeemer came up for a ride on the beach with us on Monday. We rode flat sand, huge dunes, small dunes and single track sand.
It was an awesome weekend. I had an absolute ball road tripping with Menace and laughed so hard that my ribs are still hurting.
Huge thanks to Boony, Snowy Pep and the rest of the Tamworthians involved in the running of the Nundle ride. You guys did a great job and I’ll be back next year.
Thanks to the Berry Patch for lunch and fuel.
Here’s a couple videos I’ve uploaded so far.

Quote:Many thanks to Boony and Co for a great days riding. The Saturday was my first time with the Old Bulls and I cannot speak highly enough of the fun and friendship had. Some great trails, nice streams to wash the bike in, and a highly commendable lunch at the Berry Patch. Also my sincere thanks to the various sweeps who helped me, time and time again, get out of trouble.Cheers.
No worries Shaun,
I had a few chuckles on the saturday thinking of you & Buzz on your first OBT adventures :laugh:
