Have seen some of Tims footage,looks great.
His big stack happened bloody quick, as they always do. :ohmy:
Don’t know how to get a clip and post it up but will try some time later
Glad everyone enjoyed themselves. :woohoo:
Cheers
MurphSeems fair to me, Galey.
On these sorts of rides you don’t really want too many novices.
:pinch:
I’m sure if there are any grade 3 riders out there wanting to have a crack at grade 5 riding, it could be arranged at another date with a smaller group. (Thats the best way to really have a go) :woohoo:
75kms of grade 4-5 riding will be punishing and may not be achievable if the group is big. Galey knows the area well and I’m sure he will cut sections out if time becomes an issue.
Hope I didn’t scare anybody off. :blush: :whistle:

Our illustrious sweep, Dude
Hesso on the right with Tim taking the hard lineI took over the lead for a while and we rode some very snotty singles around to the Koala trail where CJ took the lead and lunch was had in the cool rainforest at the creek. The rocky climb out was very slippery and we heard a yelp from our leader as he lost traction and direction and crashed into a huge rocky rut. (thanks CJ, we all had a bit of a giggle) I think Hesso said that karma caught him and he did much the same thing. Swapped leads back to me and we rode more single around to Bar hill. This proved to be an obsticle for some and I think Thrillseeker, Hesso and Cramusic had several goes before getting it. The slings did come out for a couple. :laugh:
Tim and CJ had ridden to the top of this hill the week before so instead of turning left and taking the easy way we all rode up to meet the next challenge. 👿 :woohoo: Tim rode up and nailed it which impressed me knowing he only had half a foot peg. CJ was next but he took a slightly different line and got caught so I had a go and followed Tims line and made it up. CJ was next then Thrillseeker followed by Hesso who got caught at the step and needed a little assistance to get over. Justo’s mountain biking skills proved themselves and he smoked the step and steep rock slab. :woohoo: Dude and Cramusic rode back down and took the easier option and we were meant to meet at the next junction, which never happened. (note to self, draw a map when giving directions to the Dude) :dry:
Tim then lead us down a gnarly hill back to the track where Dude should of been and that where we said our farewells to Hesso, who was out of water and suffering from cramps. On waiting for ten minutes or so the 5 of of us rode on down a long steep track to bottom of the valley. A little bit of dirt road had us turning right into some more challenging stuff. 👿
More to comeOnya Dude
Your in for it now. 👿 :sick:
There will be a few grade 5 variants but these can be bypassed if required. :ohmy:
