    Matt picked us up at 6-20 am and it was straight to macca’s on the west side for coffee and a quick bite. Then straight out to Nemmingah to meet up with the rest of the crew.
    With formalities out of the way it was straight to Pondarosa to unloadamd hit the trails.
    First was Back Creek which was quite damp ( note to self don’t get too carried away with the throttle in wet conditions).
    Then came the new single which worked better than I thought ( thanks for the compliment Boony).
    Then onto The Berry Patch for lunch and fuel via Snowy’s trails in reverse.
    After lunch it was back to the trails where I had a go at leading ( second note to self don’t grab a handful of front brake in the corners ).
    We worked our way back to the cars and loaded up and headed off for the usual refreshments.
    It was a great day with good friends.
    Thanks for the lift Matt and thanks every one for a great day of riding.

    Applies should read Woolies.
    Too many fizzy drinks.

    I use home brand anti-bacterial solution in my camelback.
    It only cost a couple of dollars in the baby section of applies and is normally used for sterilizing baby bottles.
    Fine steel wool from Bunnings with plenty of detergent keeps the plastics looking good.

    I’m in.
    The new track around the fence line is in. It should be pretty fast once it’s been ridden a few times.
    I have a few ideas for some new tracks and I found a variant on the Back Creek Track that everyone might like.

    Ausome photos Snowy. Trying to stand on fridge hill was like trying to stand on ice with roller skates, near impossible.

    What can I say that hasn’t already been said, other than I think I spent more time having a close inspection of the ground than riding at times. Even had a walk of shame a couple of times, thanks for the help guys.
    I had an ausome day. Thanks for the company guys:)

    You are so right Teza. It it so heartening to see the young ones showing up and in Tamworth’s case ever increasing numbers.
    As an ex-serviceman it is very appreciated ( even though I didn’t see active service) to see them there taking an active part in the ceremony
