    I have become too old to hold the throttle open anymore. :(
    We have decided to take on steep, rocky, gnarly hills and tight technical singles. :woohoo:
    At least if you fall off it is at low speed. :whistle:

    Obviously protective gear is a must have but like LC said it’s not going to stop you from injury, it can help but not stop you getting injuries.

    I think the most important thing is to ride to your ability :huh: and resist the temptation to keep up with faster riders than yourself ;)

    Tell the wife that and a new bike will be on it’s way i’m sure :whistle: :whistle:

    +1 :)

    I can’t comment on the ability thing much cause i have none

    wasn’t there something in the bible about
    lead us into temptation and deliver us away from evil :unsure:

    tell the mrs
    PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

    No water eh

    Looks like you will have to cut it back to 7.5 hr grade 4+ instead of 8 hr grade 5 on sunday

    I went for a ride. And cut/ marked out some new trails on last sun and it wasn’t, too hot

    Harden up rocket you gay lord you better have a good excuse if you don,t go

    I’m voting for the trail that goes over a wicked rock climb ,up and over the Spanish steps, past a dry creek 👿 past some awesome logs on the way to Canberra where hopefully we can find a wet creek , combined with a bit of the super loop from sat in 7.5 hrs and under 120 km :woohoo:

    Oh and about 3 , 2 km sections of loamy snotty fire trail so I can smoke a rocket. (any longer than that and I will get smoked)

    And GRAVY

    Ok here is another question

    What is the sweep for

    All I reckon he is their for is to keep the group together, or unofficially inform the group on the go that everyone has caught up

    Unless you are on a paid ride he doesn’t,t have. To fix your bike
    Occasionally lending a hand to someone who is wasted

    As for roosting if he is a mate you can do what you like,until he tells you what he really thinks ,or leaves you on the side of the track (depending on what his mrs looks like)

    If he’s not a mate at least introduce yourself first :laugh: ,
    If his bike is orange there are no rules

    The sweep is obviously at the back all day , if he can,t work out that it’s coming from the tyre In front of his face and avoids it , Maybe he should be riding for a latte
    There is a lot of unintentional roost out there, some people some bikes throw more
    Most people ride off as soon as they see them, before they get there anyway

    On the corner it may be better if you didn’t roost anyone intentionally, unless its that bloke that you really despise

    On the trail if your behind someone its fair game ,unless your electing them to help you on the next hill :P

    suck it up boony you princess all you have done by posting this thread was put a target on your chest/face :) :laugh:

    this ride sounds good looking forward to it a dip in a creek like bob wants sounds the go with minimal road sections sounds the go .but am to old to fat and slow to be pushing up hills in the heat if thats okay cheat tracks are good but don t mind watching a good hill climb or having a crack with no pressure.think i sound like a bit of a softy we are all putting the orders in hay but will suck it up and just do whatever on the day ps reckon if galey likes it i will hope bobs there to race

    Anything else Rocket :laugh:
