The Hill we call Rowan’s hill (behind Rowan’s property) always intimidates me, I have never made it all the way up on my first go. It is the big hill that caused a lot of grief on my birthday ride this year.It has two very ugly rutted sections on it,one at the bottom and one right at the top. On my birthday ride it took us the best part of an hour to get all 30 bikes up it. Those who where there, will remember Crash’s heroic attempts at it on his 650 only to get a meter or so from the top of the first section only to run out of fuel.
When I arrived at the bottom on my birthday ride (I was sweeping at the time) The hill was littered with riders and bikes going no where.It was one of the highlights of my riding career to tractor the XR up the first part of the hill on my first attempt (Only to crash further up the hill).There were blokes looking for an option to detour around it untill I tractored the pig up, then they watched 68 year old Allan ride up it on his first attempt, then pride took over and they all had a go at it, with varying degees of successhere are some of Murph’s photos of the hill.

:laugh:“The Chop”…hands down.Worst thing about it is if you fall off there is no soft dirt to break your fall…just lots of sharp rocks to break your leg :blink:
Bol :woohoo:
that photo really shows pork chop Bol when you see the rider stuck, shows its real size
Pork Chop as the worst surface as well I reckon
“Yeharr hill” at Nundle is an amusing bitch
You have to start with a run up flat out and hit the lip (which has a nice little tree root which can bring you undone)if you sucessfully get over this bit, the climb the rest of the way is very difficult and exhausting.
Haven’t seen anyone yet make it all the way to the top without stopping,falling or crying. :laugh:
Best part is that everyone can sit there and watch some monumental F$%@ ups :woohoo:As Mr Boon is showing us now :cheer: at the start.
Bol :woohoo:
the push an pull at about the halfway mark
Pep pushing Huskybloke with Aaron on the way down to help.Bol :woohoo:

It is a mother of a hill but good fun. I’m not good at hills I feel like I need to be about 4 inches taller. It was worse when I had my wr 426. I could never start the bugger without being on the stand :blush:
Go the electric leg
This one caused a bit of grief on the Coffs ride last year.
