Long weekends and trail riding in my eyes really don’t go together, for the main factor of the amount of traffic and campers there are wondering around in the forests up here, So with this in mind I reminded the other 10 riders on Sundays prerun for our Friday loop on the upcoming mount bollocks attempt snowy and I are having a go at, that we could possibly encounter the odd 4×4 or bush walker/hunter on this ride.
Andy gratefully supplies a paddock less than a k away from the van park for us to use as home base for the day.
Once we all got our sh8t together we set off for the pre run, I was to lead the ride to a set point and then Snowy would take the vest and lead us home using some of the singles there are up there. I decided early that this ride was gunna be a bit of a tester for the newbie’s and with this in mind I shot straight up the first single I could find, for those on the last few rides you may remember the single trail half way up the tar hill, It got its desired result, carnage for brekkie, gotta love trail riding. To their credit the newbie’s all came out the other end.
It was shortly after we left this trail we came across a couple of blokes unloading on the side of the road and they too were heading into the forest. Great more traffic I thought.
I lead our troops into gods own trail riding county at a rather steady but nervous pace, bull bars in the back of my mind at every corner,(apparently them buggers hurt). We soon had a reminder as to just how slippery that forest can get after some rain. Traction was not really in great supply when you powered on through some corners.
We had a top run through the latest single that has been made and then we headed up Billies hill and when my bike was all over the place due to the red clay I knew I should wait at the top as there was going to be some guys need a hand, I was right.
I hit the top of this trail and there at the top was parked 2 4x4s with big guns sitting on bipods next to them, I done the friendly thing and said g’day and asked if they had got anything, old mate replied yeah shot bambi on the way in, 2 issues here, 1 these pelicans where shooting out of their cars and 2 we now have deer guts and carcass right where we normally unload.
There was still a few stuck warriors on the hill so I Boze and I headed down to give then some moral support, ( like “hey Damus do you want to be strapped up” I took it by his 1 finger answer he would get there under his own steam.)
Once we were all up we headed off along a trail I have been wanting to cut in for quite some time and it turns out its a ripper, all bar one tiny little hill, that Polly and I had no problems getting up but the rest took the chicken run around it. It was when Polly and I were sitting there we heard a rifle shot ring out over our heads, it was the dick heads up at the landing strip firing off shots.
We had a good run out to the change over point with only a few minor issues and the odd stuck bike due to lack of traction on some of the red clay trails.
Snowy took the vest and we set off on the new internal singles, they are bloody unreal, tight in some sections, open and flowing in others. Andy had a small mishap during these singles and when we got going again we somehow took the wrong turn and lost the other 7 riders, all was good as I knew where we were and I also knew where they were going so it wasn’t long before we were reunited..
The run back to the car was let’s say done at a steady pace as we were flogged and there was some gnarly down hill we wanted to look at.
We all made it back to the cars and then it was off to the Peel in for a few quiet ones.Thank you Damus for sweeping, Snowy for leading, Andy for the paddock and the rest for being a great ride crew.

Awesome ride, more later.
Boony
Nundle pub and I have no idea how many are coming,its on the inturdnet so we end up with hundreds,
Boony
So what’s the plan Jan, would you like me to lead this ride until we get to snowys section and then after that bit I have an interesting and testing way to get back to nundle, the past few years have seen many riders asking for the main road home 3/4s of the way back on the old bulls ride, so I think I need to make the last 1/4 a bit more interesting to keep people keen. I am happy to help out Sunday, Andy if you wish.
Cool read this one,, might have to don the ADV attire and get out there and ride some miles .
Well there goes the neighbourhood, they’ll let anyone be admin, me and menace have been trying for years to be admin but noooooo beagle rides adv and bingo hid admin, 😆
That’s code for goat sex, isn’t it snowy.
You have got to be kidding. What next auto pilot :huh:
I to am happy to play tagalong, it will ne good to play back in the pack and not lead a ride. I’m in, Luke I will show you where we will be unloading. 7.00am Sunday at the school it is.
What time?
How long are you doing?

If I was elected, I would supply endless single trails for everyone and fuel would be free to all trail bike riders, and I would give the ADV faternity their own state, NT would be yours..and last but not least certain Mexicans would be banned from entering NSW.

Sir Boony has a ring to it.That run was a blast wasn’t it mick, I was one of the first in to the station, so the setting sun wasn’t really a issue for me,butholding thr scrappa open on then roads leasing onto the station certainly kept me on the ball. I didn’t think the old girl could 130, and launching her off the cattle grids was fun I suppose, I still love the forest riding though.
Boony
Can’t wait for snowy to get involved in this one, he has an opinion on adv against real riding
Adv riding is like eating hot firery food, its an aquired taste. I think we trail riders are just taking the pi&@ because we can 👿 thats the obt way isn’t it. But I do love scottys comment,,lawn bowls, that’s a cracka
