Bloody great ride
Thanks to Tim and Luke for making it a great family outing.
Conditions were perfect, maybe a little dusty on the ridges but who’s complaining.
Did all of the singles to Muirs, phew.
Couldn’t get off the ridge and down towards the Scout hall with out going past Muirs lookout.
Deserved rest at the lookout and actually shared some apples with a couple of horses. Smoothing the relations between dirt bikes and horse riding.
Took the track around past the scout hall crossed a couple of rickerty looking bridges and cursed at the number of logs accroos the track.
The plan was to go up Tunks, down Hitchy’s and up Whitemans but that blew out out due to general fatigue and time so we hit the tar back to Whitemans.
Great hill. Had never been up that before.
Tim christened his new bike by dinging his pipe and took another fall on the climb after attempting to be a human scure.
From there at was down Zig Zag and home via Maculata.
94kms of Watagans finest
Arrived home at 5:00pm, shagged.
Pics to come
Cheers
Murph.

Hey Mick, I’ve been called Billy many times. In actual fact I’m going more for the JC look mate. :laugh: :laugh:
No Halo though. 👿

Anybody else out there done Whitemans???
Was just wondering what to grade it at for the next ride.
Must be on the upper side of 4+ but not sure if it warrants a 5.
But then again it was bloody hard and Tim did have a fall.
Great hill can’t wait to hit it again. 👿
Cheers
Murph.

Good report Murph.

Great pics as usual.

Whitemans looks uummm interesting. :woohoo:

[murph the surfMember]

You’ll love it Mal.
Get up here as soon as ya can, Man.
This Winter has added some great extensions to our usual loops. 👿
We now have the three great runs put together. :woohoo:
The Basin Run
Southend Wato’s
The Ultimate Murphsberg
The later leaving straight fom home.
These can all be taylored to suit of coarse. Well sort of. :blush:
All three loops are around the grade 4 with some grade 5 thrown in just for fun.
I do have to mention that todays ride had my slings staying in my pack. Which was bloody cool.
Being only three of us, it was left up to one and another to negotiate there own way through the stages. :woohoo: :whistle: :pinch:
Cheers ya’ll
