Breckenridge farmstay to see Barry and Shirley (to smooth things over if required) and they were delighted with the OBT crew that stayed there. Thanks guys, for responsibly representing OBT.(Barry said you old bastards were all in bed by 8.30pm anyhow :laugh: )
Yes the old bastards were in bed by 830, But us younger old bulls (Nick Dude and I)were still charging on till 1130 around the fire. Well worth the extra tiredeess the next day!
Maybe Shirley and Barry were so happy because they hadn’t been into the showers yet!! Bloody water every where, they must have had a water fight!!
Thanks to everyone who helped make the weekend bloody fantastic. After that one i would have no hesitation in traveling even further for similar events in the future.Thanks Puddles for taking us on a great ride on our first day. Highlites were the first section of single with beautiful ruts in the corners that meant your front wheel was like it was on rails!! And that power hill climb with an exellent view of a dam that seemed to go on forever.I also got to watch first hand the front wheel swallowing holes that engulfed dahmus and robs front wheels.Thanks goes out to Dahmus because i was just about to go where he did so after seeing him arse up I backed out! Rob did the best sumersault i had seen since the last olimpics! Those Saturday loops were mad and very trying at times.The track marking was great. Why was that guy on that hill with the camera he put me off on the first lap and made me fall off!!! That is my excuse but i doubt i am foolng any one.My only real incident occured after TB accused me of taking the easy route on the second last lap on the first loop. Both mick and TB got in front of me on one of the more open sections. I thought I will show him!!! Just after he let me around there was an erosion bank there and i hit it a little quicker than i would have liked (fourth gear 3/4 throttle)and i nearly doubled the two bumps!! More ass than class. Mick did not take long to come up to me and report that he had witnessed the moment so i knew that they had realised that i was not Robbie Maddison!! At least I now know what the old wr426 could do quite easily in the hands of a good rider, it soaked it up beautifully.
I must have had a great night on friday because i threw a ten dollar note into the fire because i thought it was my temporary membership at the RSL!! It was very fortunate that i had consumed so much anesthetic because it didnt hurt at all when i reached into the fire to retrieve it! I also used that note to pay for my lunch on the saturday loop. So whoever ended up with it sorry but the evil grog made me do it! Hope to ride with you all soon What a Blast!
