Have a good one Rebore.

To celebrate I think I might go for an afternoon ride.

G’day Murph,

I’d love to come along on this ride but unfortunately I can’t make this one.

I’ll keep an eye out for another ride in the future.

Have a good one

Oh and one more thing.

My best wishes to aido and his family. Aido drove from Vicco to Sydney to take part in the ride only to have to turn back due to a family illness.

I hope all is OK.

Ah……….What a weekend. I was really looking forward to this ride and it didn’t disappoint.

On the way down to TB’s on Friday I had the pleasure to ride in Moose’s Ute with Strucky and Mick. Strucky did the honours behind the wheel and Me and Mick took the opportunity to taste test a few of the weekend’s cans of ale. Mick kept us in stiches for miles with his Bee Sting stories. :laugh: :laugh: I didn’t think it was possible for one man to be stung so often and still be alive :woohoo: :woohoo:

Friday Night at TB’s and a few more of the cans were taste tested and the banter was on. Mick copped a flogging while changing his tyre and more OBTs kept arriving. We slipped into some pizza and a ring of knowledge without the fire. Thanks for the bit of carpet mate by I’m not sure I’ll stay at yours again. I think it might be haunted. I kept being woken up by a mysterious box of pointy cornered Kleenex tissues landing on my person and strange mumbling noise that sounded something like F@#K*&G Shut up. I think there was even a little begging :blink: :blink:

Saturday Morning and the wait was over. We kitted up in Capertee and the temperature was about -3 degrees. But the temperature soon began to rise when we hit the trails. I have to say the organisers of ride to the camp ground did a great job. With so many riders with different skill levels it could have been a nightmare, but it worked perfectly. There was always something to keep everyone happy with hard and easy options to cater to everyone. Hats of guys.

I’d also like to thank Mal and guys who put together the loops from the camp ground. I’m sorry I don’t know names but they did a fantastic job. The hills were tops. Some really tricky little sections that saw a lot of guys get stuck on their first attempt. The singles in the pines made kitting up in the -0 degree temperatures a pleasure. What a treat and probable the highlight of the riding for me. Wish we had some around where I live.

Congrats to STM for taking out the honour of King for the year. A just monarch I’d say. You did the job proud with your inauguration celebrations and I hope I played my small part in helping you to forget what a great night it was. :woohoo: And it was a Great night. I had a fantastic time catching up with guys I’d met on previous rides and meeting new ones. This is what OBT is all about for me. Riding and meeting a top bunch of blokes, most of whom I’d never meet if it wasn’t for the efforts of everyone who put this site together.

Too many highlights to list, it really was a good weekend. Again big thanks goes to TB and all the crew who did their bit to make it all happen.

Get well Mick. Mend and I hope to ride with you next year.

Thanks Moose for lending us your ute and using you truck.

I do have one complaint though. I didn’t get to ride all the loops. Next year lets do it on a long weekend. It was all over far too quickly.

Have a Good One mate.

Let the home brew flow and I’ll catch you on your Birthday ride.

I’ll even bring you some special baked treats to help you celebrate the big 40 :woohoo:

Kram

[Mark BuntingMember]

G’day Murph

I’m keen to join in the fun. I don’t expect any prizes though :S

Before I say I’m a definate starter I’ll have to get through the OBT Birthday ride. If I can get a leave pass after that I’d love to try one of your rides.

If the ride fills I’ll have to try again next time.

Then there was the petrol in the stubbie incident Mick, but I wont bring that one up

:laugh:

That moment is just one of a myriad of stupid things I have done in my life

Rememeber this post from a year or so ago?

1. Do not try and catch a falling cat. They have spikey bits
2. Do not try and catch a pup that has just been hit by a car. They too have spikey bits
3. Do not jump off a fence into long grass. Snakes live in long grass.
4. Do not run around like a lunatic after being bitten by a black snake.
5. Do not try and rub the front tyre of a dragster on your mates back wheel
6. You cannot jump a dragster over 5 garbage bins, you wont make it
7. Do not ride a dragster in speedos, they dont handle real well
8. Do not try and carry two drums of petrol on a bicycle.
9. Do not drop a paint tin with a hammer in it onto your brother’s head from a great height
10. Even the smallest molitov cocktail makes a big explosion
11. Chlorine and brake fluid mixed will start a fire
12. Horses are stupid creatures that I was never meant to ride
13. Do not try and wheelie a YZ80 on the road
14. Drinking Flag ale and Port from a flagon makes you spew like Linda Blair.
15. Do not put two pins in a power point and short them out with a metal ruler
16. Do not upset your brother who has scissors or a sharp pencil.You will get stabbed
17. Boat ramps are slippery
18. EH Holdens will start in gear.
19. Do not get in a tractor tube and let your mates roll you down the road.
20. Do not jump the 6 feet from the shed roof to the chook pen roof

And that’s not all here are some more.

1 never grab a sparkler by the sparkly bit
2 never step off a school bus backwards while it is still moving
3 dont try and pat a dog that is growling at you
4 don’t stand in the rear tray of a tricycle and ride it down a huge hill
5 don’t pick a fight with a 100kg 12 yo Arab kid with a beard. They will beat your skinny arse.
6 don’t throw mud balls at passing cars. Your grandfather could be a passenger and see you do it.
7 A skate board will get the death wobbles at 60kmh,never jump off a skate board at 60kmh, you can’t run that fast. Even in Volleys.
8 polyester Hawaiian shirts provide no protection from gravel rash
9 If you are told to stand there and wait while a parent gets something to hit you with..Dont
10 An Evel Kenevel belt used as a tourniquet will stem the flow of blood from a gaping wound.
11 after being clobbered with a golf club, rubbing butter on the lump does nothing.
12 Whist being threatened by a girl with a cricket bat, don’t stick your head out and say “Go On I dare you”
13 Don’t slide on your arse on an old wooden varandah, then have your father remove the splinter with a razor blade.
14 Never do an “around the world” with a yo yo in a room with expensive light fittings
15 never let 2 turtles go in the local pool and brag that you did it.
16 getting caught in the pulley belts on a vacuum pump in a dairy will nearly kill you.
17 never trap a spotted quoll and try and grab it by the tail
18 a ride on plastic tractor, isn’t meant to be jumped.
19 It is fun to shoot your brother with a slug gun until your dad finds out.
20 the door of a Bedford truck will still close with your hand jammed in it

:woohoo: :laugh: :laugh: nearly spat my cup of tea all over the computer.

Your a quick learner aren’t you mate
