Headed out to Clarence on Tuesday with Scotty for a bit of cruise and enjoy some weekday riding. As usual didn’t run into anyone on the tracks other than some Adv bikes that came past in the arvo doing the fire trail while we loaded up.
Scotty brought along his 610 and was interesting to see a big Husky getting punted around the tighter stuff they can handle it well. Headed out near the end Black Fellas and worked our way back. Had a pace that was excellent,ride along at a decent pace do a section and then have a rest drink and gas bag about bikes.
I was trying out a new steering damper for the first time and after tweeking the dials found a good set up and liked how its was feeling. I ended up past the single track recommended settings but found these higher settings tops on rocky climbs and found i could loose a bit of the grip on the bars,had chucked on a set of pillow top grips and found them good too.
Did the main single all the back then up a fire trail ive always liked with nice errosion mounds hit something and copped a quick knock to the bars and reckon having still had a high setting on the damper snapped things straight back in line.
For a change i took an old track i haven’t been on in years,the one with SB’s yami ladder bridge which is now broken but still rideable. Interesting all the main trails where dry and thought i would try and remember the best line for some of the bogs that will fill up.
probably forget by next time. :laugh:Spent some time trying to do wheelies but probably more time spraying Scotty with rocks,sorry mate.
After a bit of a lay off from riding, had a top day out on the bikes thanks for coming along Scotty. RR’s without out pics :unsure: yeah they need em,but have some stuff on the contour so ill get some up asap.
Cheers
Alway good to get out for a ride. My RMX is out of action at the moment so the 610 is my current single track weapon,
. It does pretty well for a 150kg bike. Believe it or not due to the soft suspension and smooth power it doesn’t wear me out any more than the RMX. Unless I drop it, picking it up takes some effort. The RMX is more fun on the tight singes though. We did about 85km of mostly singles which made for a good day even in the very dry conditions (A bit of rain since then). Weekdays is the best time to ride, you get the trails all to yourself.I have some footage I will post when I get time.
Shane and Murph, week day rides are tops love the lack of traffic out there, and it’s the pay off for when your driving to work or coming home from night shift on the weekends and you see a trailers full of bikes heading out or coming home.
Your right Murph i like to check out the ride reports at work it’s a good distraction,i mean only in designated meal breaks
Finally finished editing a clip of Tuesdays ride let me know if its worth the time to edit them to try and make a more interesting clip,get bored with watching some of my clips sometimes, they can look a bit the same.
Bit of a fire trail section on the way back,always like this track for some reason,theres nothing hard about it,but good fun.
You can see my new steering damper absorb a hit, i replayed it at the end. Still not sure if i hit a rock or root was looking ahead and didn’t see anything but i think it did its job
. Was running the higher settings i was using on the single track, so that answers one of my questions about finding a universal setting.
