Almost clearing itRiding up along the very narrow ridge gave us a different veiw and before long we were at the next part of the climb. Again Tim went first and again he made it look easy.
We all managed to climb this very steep, steppy section without incident and I was relieved but exhillerated to get to the top. From here we had single after single that went on and on and I was starting to lose concentration and make silly little mistakes. The singles around Awaba went on for more then 20kms and linked up almost continuously. We did some more hills back to Wangi Rd and one last little single to pull onto the tar a couple of hundred metres from home
Almost 130kms of riding snot and sick singles
Like I said, it was a great day
Thanks to all for coming out
Big thanks to Thrillseeker, CJ and Tim for making the entire distance
The next one will be called 4 hills and a footlong, all are welcome. 👿
:woohoo: :woohoo:
Some pics later
Cheers
Murph the surfWe all gathered at the base and I explained the best way to attack this hill. Its best done in sections so that assistance is close by if needed. Tim and CJ went first and they did the first three sections. Tim rode back down to the base of the third section and then rode the more extreme RH section. CJ and Tim then walked back down to help out the others.
I struggled a bit with the 500 but managed to get through unassisted. :cheer:
I think Thrillseeker also made it through but the slings came out with Looselink and Dan. :whistle: The new WR450 did not like playing on this hill and was hissing all the way up. :ohmy:
From there it was up and up through some more tricky sections to the very top where we all had a small rest.
Some transport section where we cooled off and then it was down Slippery Rock on our way to hill 2
Some fresh tree falls made for some interesting challenges, then up Slippery Rock to gather at the base of the slab. This proved to be fun as it was just wet enough to give a few some hell. Thrillseeker had a couple of attempts but it was Looselink who had all the fun, NOT. :ohmy: :pinch: After 4 or 5 failed attempts he decided to let his rear tyre down and that made all the difference. Just goes to show how much difference tyre pressures can make. Some more rocks and slabs to get to the top where hit some more singles then said our farewells to Dan and Looselink. Hope ya’s had a good ride fella’s and we’ll see ya’s next time. :cheer:Day started crisp with blue skies
Everyone gathered ready to go and Tim fouls his plug whilst on choke. (first time he has had the plug out of that bike since he has had it)
9 starters and we were off through the first singles only 300m from home.
Through the cutting and into more singles. Gazza55 was doing it tough on the old classic PE 175 and called it quits before we reached the end of that single. Thanks for coming out Gazza, nice to meet you, and thanks to Looselink for showing him the way home. The rest of us carried on. We had a breakdown of the cornerman system which resulted in one run away. Caught up with Dan at the next intersection some distance later and we made our way back to the bunch.
Chunk had come off in the third single and hurt his left shoulder, so he decided to pull the pin also.
:ohmy: Hope your shoulder is OK, mate.That meant Raw had to go too as the two travelled together.
So now we were down to 6 all within 5km of home.
The pack moved well through all of the next singles and our log track didn’t give too much greif.
Through Awaba tunnel then more singles out to the freeway and on to the quarry. A few of us did the little hill challenge where I have seen so many others come unstuck. The rest looked on and then we were heading to Amazon.Cool, Raw
