OBT 4th Birthday Ride weekend 2nd & 3rd of June 2012

what happened to the race start bob and the log reckon we could organise a race start just lookout for the first corner bob

Medogrocket and I have decided to do two different styles of rides.

Mal5.1’s group will be a kind of introduction to grade 3. The terrain will be grade 3 with a fair bit of fire trail, a few hill challenges but will be aimed at the less experienced riders that want to try a bit more technical stuff. I’ll ask the more experienced riders in this group to help, encourage and offer advice to the less experienced riders so that they enjoy the ride as well. And my group will be riding off at a more respectable time of 9am ish. There is still frost at 10am around here.

Medogrocket’s group will be the more experienced riders that don’t want to do Galey’s ‘hills of death’ ride. He will use some of the same tracks from my loop and Galey’s loop and throw some other good stuff in as well. As he said he will be winging it most of the way but he does know his way around. He also knows the snotty stuff that Galey will be using and avoid it like the plague (maybe).

You can choose which rider you would like to follow on the day, pm me or you can ride on your own if that’s your thing.

The first post will be updated as well.

Here is a teaser video of one loop I have sorted for the Bday ride. Has a bit everything in it.

Yeah I have a vented helmet strap wrapped around the chin piece. Seems to work ok and not get hooked on trees.

Most trails on that loop are in excellent condition.

The video looks real good Mal.. Will your afternoon loop be the same or a bit more technical than the morning? I’m thinking maybe more technical grade 3 in morning and the toned down grade 3 in the avo… Hmm.. Decisions..

I’m thinking that video will be the arvo loop Krusty. The other loop uses some of Galeys track so I don’t want to cross paths with his group. The other loop has some more technical sections, like the rutted hill I posted a few pages ago. The pine singles are also a bit more technical. I’ll get some footage on Monday of my other loop and post it up. Might help you make the decision mate.

I have made some changes to the Adventure Moto adventure ride loop. The loop is now 260kms and will be lead by Steve from Adventure Moto on King Kenny. Eagle will be sweeping and they will run the corner system.

There are two fuel opportunities on the loop those being Capertee and Hillend

Lunch will be at Hillend now

I think Nick from Tekniks will be riding my Tenere, Pete the Wolf is ridng Dejay’s DR, Flying Fish will be riding her mighty APC WR250. Anyone going will have a phat ol time on this loop

Looking forward to this even more now (as if that was possible) :woohoo:
