The report
What a great way to spend a day!!
I arrived at the designated meeting spot to find Pete the wulf (PTW) already there chomping at the bit, it wasn’t long before Moose turned up in his new ride gear. Looks a bit like Santa to me, not so much the red and white theme but the big Xmas gut he is sporting at the moment.
He then did a Haka for us.
That is when Pete’s phone rang and it was Huskybloke (also known as Brad who’s real name is Ian) To say he was running a little late. We cut him some slack and patiently waited. We stood around and admired a hot looking bike while we waited.
Huskybloke arrived with a couple of his mates with him Daniel and Leon (both on big Huskies)and intro’s were done and it was time to hit the trails.
Conditions were near perfect as far as I was concerned, best part of an inch of rain during the night made it nice and moist. Fog sections also made the day. (I love riding in Fog).
A quick run up the face of Bago had us hitting some tight and wet singles before we hit the top of Bago, we then dropped back into the valley via Big Jurassic park and down to the big log.
Like always I hit it sweet and made myself look like a gun (pity no one saw it)
The other boys were all brave and hit it not knowing what was on the other side.
PTW nailed it with no regard for his pipe.
Leon on the 510 did it easy, like he did all day…can peddle good this fella.
Huskybloke got over it too.
Daniel had two goes. I was later to find out that it was his 2nd trailride in 15 years. He did bllody good on the new 450.
From there we did a ton of singles that I have managed to link up, just near Comboyne rock PTW got a flat front tyre and we stopped to fix it, or watch him fix it more like.
He missed his minute but did OK with what he had to work with.
Like a fancy factory stand.
Waiting…….. Waiting
While we waited we could here a bike approaching, when a rider on a brand new Husky 449 pulled up for a yarn. At first with the helmet on I didn’t recognise him but it was one of my wives cousins who I hadn’t seen for at least 10 years We checked out the bike, which was only hours old.
Pretty awesome machine!!
Anyhow he was heading to Wauchope so he tagged along with us for the rest of the day, he is real good OBT material too. Just done the cape and a heap of other stuff.
We managed to link up some more trails toward Herons Creek and then back over Bago. It was right on top of Bago that I got well and truey Jousted by a big stick that went through my jersey, hit my pressure suit and speared up and under my helmet, which sent me and the XR careering into the scrub, I only just managed to hang onto the pig and keep her up right. I do believe there are photos of me in the scrub on someones camera.
We eventually arrived back at the Cemetery around 1pm, farewells where said and Moose, PTW and I retired to my shed for an ale. And debrief.
After Pete left I jumped on the NX and headed for Comboyne to meet up with TB and Salina who are road tripping on the Tenere. I meet up with them at Comboyne in the mist and rain and we stopped at the café for a yarn. Then onto some mutuals friend’s place where we fiddled with a RMZ250 for a while over another beer. Then I headed off and ended up at Moose’s place for another beer and de brief before heading home to a baked dinner……Shit life is good!!!
Thanks to all that helped make it a great day!!!
