I think 1inarow may have raced a pink 465 with pink riding gear back in his day.

There is a photo in his meal room for his workers to look at while eating :laugh:

There’s something about old bikes. They just look nice. I don’t think I could handle either of them.

That looks like just after a fall Mal???
Or maybe just before one, I remember taking a bit of a drop on one of the first attempts near the top of that climb
Cheers

Yep just before it. Do you want to see it? I just scanned it.

It’s not even the fall that bothered us. It was the sudden stop at the end. I took a 15m fall once. First bit gear pulled out (hit me in the face), second bit broke and thrid bit held. I pulled up 2m from the ground. 1.5 tri cam, bent the hell out of it and cracked a bone in my ankle. Then walked out of Mt York. We were hard men back then.

Now I roll around on the ground if I graze myself when I come off the bike.

Yeh it’s a good place to train Chris. A bunch of us used to go every week when we were right into it for training. Nothing like the real stuff though. I’ll find a pic of Murph.

I went to Leura climbing gym a few months ago and want to get back into it. Beats bike riding any day.

Come on Mal, you know you want to bite… Want to go to the GAC xmas party / canyon trip?

Shit yeh. Sign me up. Which Canyon?

Murph – Just uploaded a couple of the ‘Newcastle Legend’ AKA YOU!!! Will post in other hobbies. Next time you’re here Murph, I have some sweet tracks nearly out to Sahara Point. We could do a ride/climb day. How good would that be :woohoo:

Murph please excuse Mal from riding a ride report at this stage as he is currently doing some product testing for OBT (he had do to as Moto’s got a fat neck) this requires him to write a report :laugh:

TB

Yeh what TB said. And that I’ve been shopping for a camping trip and then to the pub for a counter lunch and BEER. YUM

[MalMember]

I’ll write it on your head when I see you Murph.

Nah mate I should have time and beers tonight to do it.

Here’s a taste.

Twobanger and I went for a loop from Clarance to Blackfellas Hands on Tuesday. Nearly got run over by logging trucks, nearly got smash by falling trees from loggers cutting trees down. Tested a new neck braced for TB (review on the way). Nearly dehaydrated in the heat.

But above all had a great ride with Twobanger (as usual), he showed me some tracks I hadn’t been on and I showed him some he’ll never remember.

Now I’m going out to drink MORE beer. Ring you later Murph (when I’m drunk this time).
