Ourimbah 28th Adam and Gordo

[Gordon McMillanMember]

Hi All,
Adam and I were keen to ride on Sunday started after 9am as its a bit warmer. :whistle: after every one else arrived……. :dry: A party of two headed out for Ourimbah from Adams place . Adam thought I should lead.. funny fella.
No one was in the car park looking for a tour guide, so .. off we went . :woohoo: may be a little less woo hoo as we both left our super power at home. :blush:

Started under the bridge into the quarry. so far so good, but the trails have been wet and well used. :pinch: deep ruts and even standing water. :ohmy: This was the first time in since the storms and there are a lot of work around with fallen trees.

I had put the red spring in for the first time on this this ride, felt brave , just not well. :whistle: The bike is different, it comes on the power better and lifts the front easier. Not the best day for a test but I like 👿 I happened to have my feet separate from the pegs up a particularly large uphill step… but I didn’t see this as a need to back off until I was up. :woohoo: It works, all good :pinch: and Adam got a laugh.

Any way we went down into the valley and up both the pipe lines. Loked in on Scattons rd? ( Adam will correct) the ride followed a simple routine ride , water ( stuck ) ride ,tree (cut) When we got to a ride, cut , walk cut, cut , :sick: walk ride, cut :sick: we were done, :pinch: singles back through to Ourimbah car park and on to Adam’s place.

Good to be out amongst it 😆

I think I leave Ourimbah to dry out and play in the Watties next .

Thanks Adam fun as always

Adams Ourimbah rides always sound unreal and it sound like you have the bike dialled Gordo , I’d love to get down that way for a ride this year !! Might have a chat with Chris T and make the pilgrimage south sometime !!

Do the road trip Nickj :woohoo:
And we will put on a great weekend of riding
Would like to lead you Northerners around a Basin Run, Southend Watto’s or Local run from Buttaba.

Sounds like you two had your work cut out clearing, Gordo and Adam
Well done
I will be out again today tidying up some more of our local singles
The chainsaws are getting a workout and so am I :sick:
Cheers

Hi Murph,
I’m hearing you, the clearing of the trails suck .. :sick: .. and I only did a bit. :whistle:

As I was out front I tried to force my way through in one section under a tree…. :pinch:

Adam walked in behind me took my hand saw out of my bag and cut me and bike free. :laugh:

It didn’t work out as I had hoped. :whistle:

I’m looking at getting a small chain saw just for this kind of clean up. The trouble is you need a better way of carrying it than on your lap.

I’m out for a couple of weeks but another Watties is on the cards mid – end July
