Hi Guys,

What was planned to be a STEADY ride with a couple of STEADY riders (Old Al and Rogerdoger both had to pull out late in the piece) finished up being an initiation into the OBT’s jet pilot’s club. Gee you guys can ride. Thanks Frank for taking the lead from time to time – whenever I was up front I would have to pull up from time to time to remove TB’s headlight from out of my exhaust! I’ve never pushed the yella girl so hard, particularly on the way back. Good fun. Tired and sore now but worth it.

Here is a 3 min video of the ride. Will post some pics later, when they unhook me from the heart-and-lung machine.

Cheers,

TW

ps Frank (the Chaser) resides in Macquarie Hills, Lake Macquarie. Last initial is P. Not yet an OBT member but soon to be.

Hi TW

Sorry I had to leave you to play with the Old Bulls all on your own, but it seems as though you’ve survived OK. And another top video!

I seem to have recovered from my attack of “Bali Belly” so roll on next weekend.

See you there!

Cheers

top vid TW, looks wicked.

wikdbeemer was looking like the true trials guru till he stopped!

A good ride boys, I really enjoyed the tracks even though the front tyre didn’t seem to, it wanted to go in a different direction to me. One of the high lights of the day was seeing Wkdbeamer log hopping and flip it, he held on to it though and the bars never touched the ground. Luckily no-one saw it except me and i’ll never tell, I’m good with secrets.

Thanks TW for leading and everyone else for making it a good day.

Forgot to mention that TB brought along some of the Jack Link’s Beef jerky to sample (thanks TB) and I have to say it is some of the nicest I have tasted. So if you like beef jerky, get into some Jack Link’s, good stuff, and support one of the site sponsors.

Looks like a great ride was head, TB called me after the ride and said he had a TB day too. Wish I was there now

Oh well, roll on the next one!

[Paul BolandMember]

Trying to upload some pics without any success. :S Will try again later.

In the mean time, in fairness to Frank I thought I should post this 20 sec video of him in action on a climb. This is one climb that I CANNOT get up, and here he is making it look easy. Gee I hate that! I actually detoured the guys around this one on the day as I didn’t want Frank to show them up, being a newby ‘n all;)

Cheers,

TW

Some pics:

CPR on the KTM. Note the discrete product placement by TB. Thanks Jack Links for the freebies.

At Heaton Lookout, overlooking Lake Macquarie.

This is the ring-in that TB filled in (sorry mate we never did get your name).
No smiles when I pulled up on the trail and gave him a cloth to clean his face and goggles.

The route

Is that hill on the way out and up the track a bit further on from where you filmed the other hill we went up?

There was a hill you went to the right of to go around but Wikedbeamer and I went straight up it, not sure if Frank did as well as he was sweeping at the time.
