    WOODENBONG 11/7/09

    WELL AN ABSOULUTE AWESOME DAY WITH GREAT RIDERS FOR COMPANY… THANKS FOR COMING ALONG AND MAKING IT A GREAT DAY FELLA’S……
    MY FIRST RIDE WITH ANOTHER OLD BULL TRAIL RIDER AND HAVE TO SAY KTM01 YOUR A GREAT BLOKE AND HOPE IT’S THE FIRST OF MANY A RIDE TO SHARE…..

    ROLL CALL
    MANAGER=DBW
    JEFF=DBW/ SORRY MATE DON’T KNOW YOUR USERNAME
    KTM01=OBT
    ROBO67=OBT/AORC/DBW
    First of all sorry to Skingraft if you and your mate turned up but we hung around for a bit and didn’t see anyone else so we hit the trails as you do…..

    RIDE REPORT
    Well there must have been some decent rain down the bong lately and the trails were super greasy or prime depending on your mud riding confidence level..
    Morning loop consisted of a run down the southern end taking in the normal sights G.M.T,some mud, bit more mud,logs,and a few more greasy cross track logs,lantana and some super greasy cross you up ruts……
    We arrived at the rest area were another group were not far behind us,so a bit of a yarn with these fella’s about the track conditions etc…..
    They also informed us of a rather rowdy bunch of hoons camped near tooloom falls wonder who that could have been??????
    So from here it was head back to the cars via the lookout and dropping back down on to G.M.T for the trip back to the cars…
    This proved to be most eventful with myself having a nice little off,hit one of those greasy angled logs a little quick with another you had to duck to get under on the other side….
    ended in tears with a crossed up front wheel hitting the deck and the end of the bars right into the middle of the chest….
    All good although starting to get a little painfull when I breathe….
    any ways all good onwards to the cars and out of G.M.T,a little detour to check another tracks creek crossing so as there is not as much transport in future,yep chainsaw required for that one Thanks for your patience there guys but I just had to know…..
    so off the main track on the last bit of S/T back too the cars and have to say very pissed off some has removed my bridge,so a little pondering while we decided on how to attack the crossing all good maybe some footage of Jeff at this section….
    So it was back at the cars food,photo’s and anything else was a bit scarce on this was all about the ride,i really have to get better orged again…
    All up about 58klms covered on this loop they were good ones however…

    LOOP TWO
    Well was decided at interval that this would be a quick 30klms dash so that is what it was a couple of logs needed paths made around which was done manager had a nice off at pace….
    I had a few more close calls and what I thought was a fouled plug at one stage but my choke was on,,,F**KIN DUH.

    Anyways that’s about it returned to the cars for a couple refreshments and some bench racing…..
    just like to thank all you guys for a great day riding and awesome company,i promise the loops will only get better…….
    SPECIAL THANKS TO ktm01 FOR THE LIFT DOWN AND BEERS
    P.S FOOTAGE AND PICS OF THIS RIDE ARE RARE……
    I AM BACK AND LOVING IT

    Well it wasn’t bloody well me there at Tooloom I can tell you (late minute work committments came up) probably too cold and wet for me to camp anyway (I’ll tell myself that over and over until I believe it)

    Greg and his mate didn’t make it eh Robo?

    apparently they turned up just as we were riding over the grid,unloaded as quick as and geared up but never caught up..
    we saw the truck when we got back at half time but they were gone when we returned at the end of the day…..

    next time maybe
