This ride was on
then off
then on
then off
then on
then, well you get the picture. :laugh: A final phone call at 1.00 Saturday to Andy and the ride was locked in as “on” :cheer: We had received around 20 mil :woohoo: of rain up here on Saturday and the ride grounds got their fair share of dust settler as well. :pinch: :pinch: :pinch:
We all met at the normal meet place and headed up to them there hills,We unloaded and padded up for what was going to be one heck of a slippery day on the bikes. :S :S :S
We had an absolute ball, watching each other slip and slide out of control along some of the best trails known to man, :ohmy: there were some places that when you hit the anchors your bike went faster into the corner. :angry: :S Andy put together a great loop using the normal trails that we have put in place. Some of the hills just spelt CARNAGE, they were a blast, and momentum was defiantly your friend today.
High light of the day had to be watching a local sherco rider take an alternative line on one of the single whilst we were having a bit of a race and then wheel standing fully pinned straight into a tree :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy: and in snowys words “he painted the forest blue”
Ride was fine bike was so,so. :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:We played hard for a few more hours and then whilst I was on a corner the said sherco rider pulled up and because he had no front mud guard his face was just brown from him roosting himself from the front wheel. I lead him out to the cars and that was my day, next stop was the ever inviting Dungowan hotel.
I`m sure the rest of the troop will add there bit.
Thanks for leading today Andy. It was good to be in the pack and seeing the carnage.Bring on Lithgow… :silly: :silly: :silly: 😆

August 23, 2014 at 11:41 am #259136Thank you to the fellas once again.
Thought Id better chime in and defend Andy’s pride.
Twas me that hit the tree , a pine but im fine. Boomtish.Andys speed was good and smooth not a corner missed, infact his pace was fast. getting smooth now Andy well done my brother. cost me $198 retail to fix front guard/ headlight / headlight surround with front plate / and the kill switch. Not bad.
Good to see Hoss back in the saddle. Boomtish. Hope to see you out there often Hoss.Thank you SES Boony for crapping yourself when you saw me explode. Its good to know you care darling. Bit thoughtless laughing I thought but alas. And to Snowy for riding ahead to tell my
brother Wiz
“You should call your mum your brother just died.” Thank you ?
And to my stead, we live on.
Thanks Again for the jam filled donuts and coke too Andy. F@#$#kn well done. -
