    At the request of Boony I have a ride report of some trail bike riding not adventure riding.

    2 mates and I raced at Nowra on Sunday in rd2 of the King of the Bush enduro series. It was a sprint format with 2 courses running at once, we got a sighting lap and 3 laps of each track, thats 8 laps in a day. The laps were between 7 and 14 mins long depending on who was riding them. It doesn’t sound like a lot of riding but you know about it at the end of the day!

    This was the 3rd round for the Oyster Bay Motorcycle club of which both Shitty and I are members, Brett is a Nowra member and gun photographer when he isn’t racing. (check out his stuff at http://www.wetrax.com.au)

    Shitty and I pensive before the first sighting lap

    We all rode good and didn’t have any big crashes, still waiting for the final results but I think I finished 5th in class, Shitty was 7th or 8th and Brett was about 14th (there were 20 in the class I think)

    Pretty sure me and Shitty got 1st and 2nd in class for the Oyster Bay club too :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

    The bloke doing the photography had a camera attached to a helicopter and got some cool shots

    Great work guys.

    Nice pics. Looks like fun to do. I joined Oyster bay a little while ago but haven’t gotten organised enough to anything more than that. :unsure:

    Cool.

    How did you go? It looked like there were a good number of female riders.

    The track was awesome, especially if you compared it to the swamp that was rd1!

    Um I sucked :blink: … but i did just go for the fun of it 😆 . If i havent busted body and bike by next year i will go to compete. There were six girls in total. I just wanted to go to see what it was like. I heard what a crap fest round 1 was, but i thought round 2 was run really well. Not to much sitting around.
