:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:Pics?
i can only see one????
am i missing something? :dry: :huh:ok…ride report..
Woke up to after a good nights sleep cheering that we were going to have a mid morning start.Big brecky on offer,bacon eggs,sausages etc.Geared up for the ride,and met the kind lads who were to take us to hell and back.
The moment we hit the dirt the pace was a cracker,stag chilly beef and beans started to kick in and i had great concerns for Ollie the sweep :laugh:
From there on it was awesome trail after awesome trail.First off was in the bloody same spot as before..Eagles bob sled hill.Tested the new six six one body armour and it came up trumps.Unlike the day before i had an audience this time so i couldn’t get away with it
about 5 blokes looking on with Murph above me with a big smile on his dial,oh well,thats the first one outa the way :cheer:
Man did we have some cracking fun in and outa trails!!!That many steep down hill tracks i reckon i could jump on a plane and compete in the winter down hill events and pick up a medal :laugh:
Thanks for drowning your bike smurf,the break was enjoyable,fuuny watching Diddle doing a Bomb into the creek nearlly drowning Holeshot while the pair of em swam around in full riding gear.Up sproket hill…that was fun,poor Boony…wheres a helicopter when you need one?
Next major off happened at a bit of pace(for me anyway) went pair shape and ended up in the jungle with my bike sitting up on the track,landed on my bloody head…ouch…lifted myself up by the top of my helmet so i could stretch my neck out..crack crack crack…Holeshot came over the track and i gave him the thumbs up,all good :cheer:
Some places that jungle looked like some island in the pacific,im surprised the monkeys in trees didn’t start throwing coconuts at us
.
Dont ask me what happened but somehow i ended up above every one else in one section ontop of a ridge :ohmy: i was none the wiser anyway.The track suddenly strarted to look like the western face of Ayres Rock,it was allmost a shear drop down this awfull bloody looking wet shaley rockface.I pulled up,had a look,nearlly shit myself,thought to my self “got no choice…the others infront of me went down it,so…i suppose i better too”.Tightened my sphincter and away i went!!!!Survived the worst of it and pulled up in a rut for a breather within sight of the rest of the group who were sitting at the intersection down the bottom.Boony looked up and saw me there,yelled out something along the line of WTF are you doing up there?…i didn’t know what the hell he was talking about…i was just happy to be alive :cheer:
MickG proceeded to crash into me when a tree was across the road,i think he was to busy racing DanD to look ahead for stranded gumbys like me,no damage done and he kept saying sorry…so i milked it for all it was worth.You will be hearing from my solicitors later this week Mick 😆
Found a nice tricky bit later on with some rio on it,got stuck on a dirty chunk of wood,cleared it outa the way for Boony behind me and he made it up no worries….bloody hell…i had to put up with that great story of the mighty Boons rio climbing adventures all the way home to Tamworth :blink:
Pulled up at a main road as the wounded Holeshot came in we worked out we were one person short…oh shit :ohmy: AustBlue became Tony Abbot and little boy lost all in the space of less than 24 hrs…sat around in the sun for a while…cards would have been handy…enjoyed watching the top of DanD’s head getting burnt.Search parties headed off in different dirrections the eventually news that he was ok came through :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
For some strange reason Ollie wanted to ride my bike back home,the thought of me on his gas gas going down that bloody marble invested hill gave me the shivers,i declined his offer cause i reckon i mighta put his bike up in a tree.Ollie looked a bit disapointed but trust me mate…the right decission was made :unsure:
Back at camp we said our goodbyes and tears were shed.Boony and i had a pretty quite trip home,exept for the odd rio story…pulled up and got a feed at Singo and a coffe at the Brook.Then evetually home sweet home.
thanks for a great week end bulls…one of the very best.Cheers Ollie and to the Dungogians.Cheers Boony for the funny trip down and making me look good on the track. :laugh:
Could only take one photo of that day as my battery died
Bol :woohoo:

yeh not a bad effort I had to change lines when AB went down in front of me,but managed to keep the momentum going,when I got to the top I thought I had better do my sweep duties and go back down and check on the boyz having a bit of Drama
Ollie
Yeah well done on the whole weekend Ollie, next time I will ride both days, better then the pushy on Sunday @ Olympic park :laugh: although the kids loved it
TB
Yeh TB you would have loved it
I am still feeling Euphoric even after a crap day at work :laugh: I want to thank The following people for making it such an unforgettable ride. In no particular order.
1.Henk who led us for a large part of the day and is still riding strong even though he has just had his 62nd birthday he has been my mentor for the last 22 years and a great mate.
2.Trent Lean, super fast farmer and all round good guy,thanks for letting me share your Primo camp site with the old Bulls.
3.Glen Charlton (Charlie) for leading us through some awsome trails and helping Boony get to the top of sprocket hill (we would have been there forever otherwise :laugh: he is responsible for maintaining the tracks to the standard tghey are in like the mesh and bridges etc
4. Neil (sheltox) for helping out and offering assistance when ever it was needed
5.Bob for allowing us the use of your property.
6. Kram for showing true OB spirit and helping out with the support ute and the primo fire wood
