This is Roys KTM boiling on a hill. In fairness to KTMs this hill was at least 20m long.
Day 1
Me Roy and Nathan rode the south side,it was a mix of open grassy trails and tight rocky singles.Both Roy and Nathan “race” so the pace was fast,I kept up for a short while but my lack of rock experience started to show.I hade a few stacks one the bigest in ages the impact broke the headlight globe and dented the front rim (matches the back one now).
We rode on to Cat hill ,steep and rocky it took a few go’s.We had lunch and Roys mate Max joined us and we headed to the mountain on the north side.Sweet singles with alot less rocks lead us to the awesome views on top.
By now I had about a dozen cramps and could hardly stay upright,thanks to max for the pills and brake lever.
We headed back to base.
Day 2Us the Narrabri crew , the owner Blue and 3 guys from Gunnedah headed up L plate hill. Then rode some “pony express” single track to Bundy hill. the guy on the DR had the worse tyre I have ever seen and struggled on some sections.
Soon after they droped off and we headed for the big one Horse power hill ,its as bad as they get, it has a 1 in 2 gradient and is rocky as.Only 15 have ever made,even the owner Blue has only made it once.No one did.

Lunch then the endurocross track.The teeter totter was intimidating and when trials rider Nathan and Roy both wipedout on their first attempt I was worried,but Blue called me out so I had to step up.I came off once but landed on my feet then made it ,phew.

We rode some nice trails on the north side and ended up at Headerpipe hill,a tricky little first gear hill.Cramps forced me to quit after about 10 go’s.
Day 3
The Tamworth boys arrived with bits of kangaroo splattered all over their utes.
We rode the mountain again,it was even more fun without cramps.Then, with 20 minutes untill had to leave, were back at Headerpipe hill.REVENGE I was stocked to make it on my third and last attempt.
Thanks to all the guys especially Max and Roy.Bike Territory is an awesome place and is heaps better than camping.Blue is a good host and a top bloke the trails are many and varied and I hope to get back there soon.
Cheers Ev
