This time I’ve got my head screwed on so I’ll see how I goB)
Arrived at the Basin about 9:00 after hiding some fuel in the bush just in case:unsure:
tf2 was already there and looked keen. As we were unloading bikes 383hq, lotsa and twobanger rocked up. Introductions, geared up and we were off:woohoo: Headed NW and straight into some rocky uphill. Regrouped at the top to check everybody was happy then crossed the road and into another steeper hill. This was my second attempt at this hill and still made a mess of it. Twobanger was not far behind and unfortunately had to take another line almost making it but throwwing his bike into the air at the rock step:woohoo: The other boys did well but “no cigar” The hill will be tamed next time:angry:
From here we did some sweet singles containing rio hills and rocky outcrops. One section I lead everybody into a narrow water filled slot which stopped the bikes and we all needed a little push to get through (thanks lotsa for the roosting of mud and water:laugh: ) After we all got through our sweep rider just powered through the main puddle and to my embarressment it wasn’t even deep:blush:
We linked up with the Koala track nicely and I am sure everybody enjoyed that section as much as me:woohoo: :woohoo: After looping back around we headed north up some more rock steps tf2 took the RH line and did it smoothly. 383hq blasted straight up the guts with a lunge up the large step, very impressive:woohoo: Lotsa almost nailed it but threw his bike down hard onto the rocks, no damage though:ohmy: From here we took the great north walk down steeply to the valley floor. Crossed a creek, passed a waterfall then onto Wave rock trail:woohoo: This was the one I was concerned about as I had looked at it the day before and hoped it was passable:unsure: After a bit of kicking and scratching I made to the top of the gnarly section and walked backed down to assist the others. One by one and everbody pitching in we all made it to the top, where we met Lotsa who cheated and had gone around the road wayB)
Found the fuel cans and put a couple of litres into Tims Kato, no one else needed to so we hit the singles all the way back to the basin. Everybody had got a second wind and those singles were done at a great pace without stopping or resting. On reaching the cars Tims bike ran out of fuel (perfect):cheer:
Thanks to everybody who turned up and special thanks to 383hq and lotsa for sharing the sweep duties:cheer: Hope to see ya’s out there again one day:)
Nathan I have a ford hub cap at my place. I’m guessing you might be missing one:( Found it on the dirt road on the way out of the basin.
Hoping my mate Mal5.1 will again post some of our pics for your browsingB)
Cheers:cheer:
Murph the surfMight try for a more infomative report later, when the hangover wears off:(
Had hoped Lotsa would do a report as he was the one with the camera:unsure: :unsure:
Cheers to 383hq, lotsa, twobanger, tf2 and especially my kid Tim who was on my tail the whole day, pushing me along:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
Murph
