Sorry mate, went click crazy on the iPhone !!!
I wasn’t game to mention your battle of the bowels on the corner STM but it was bloody funny and I’ve got tears in my eyes reading it
Their was a little to much detail on the day though mate
Great report Gav, I was surprised how much of those trails I have ridden considering I live 8 hours north ! You have got some great adv riding down their , it’s really hard to deciede what’s best the blue mountain adv riding or single track ??
Why chose though , just do both !!!
Hi Chris , it’s good to welcome a fellow pommie to the site !!
I’ve been in oz for over 13 years now and this place has turned me into an absolute obsessive dirt rider.
I highly recommend a trip over the pond mate and you can be sure their will be heaps of old bulls keen to show off the ozzy trails !!Nick
Thanks to the organizers , support crew and of course the local obt riders for showing us their awesome trails. I haven’t travelled that far (1684km) for a 2 day ride before but it was well worth the drive and I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
A big highlight for me was getting to ride with my good mate Chris-t, we used to ride together on the road a lot in England but this was our first singles dirt ride together and he can really get along on that 690 , cheers mate !
Sweeping on Saturday morning was great fun , laughing with STM on the Bluetooths , playing silly buggers with TB trying to run each other into the bush and following lefty who just seems to float over the knarlyest terrain. I tried to keep up with lefty following his exact line and only saw him for 2 corners and he was gone :ohmy:
The afternoon grade 3 ride had STM and I sweeping and we had a great time riding top notch singles and talking on the Bluetooth the whole time. The group split halfway through and we went back out , Galey had a nice paced ride going that was moving really well when poor Mick hit that tree
( get well mate )
This ment some quick thinking and Galey soon had a plan, he lead 3 of us out of the pines at warp speed, I really had trouble keeping him in sight and at times their was no visible track so I was glad when I caught up on the fire road. I went along to go back to camp and let everyone know what had happened so they didn’t send out a search party as it got later. As it turned out the ambos wanted us all to go back to the camp and meet them their. It was a releaf when everyone got back to camp and Mick was safe.
The beers and laughs really flowed evening and STM and I managed to polish of a carton of 500ml cans :dry: :sick: Bollocks ,as always was great doing job with the auction and well done everyone with all the money raised
I woke on Sunday with the mother of all hangovers and thought I might improve with a little grade to ride with Mal5.1 :blink: to say things didn’t flow for me is an undersatement as the hangover grew. I still had a really fun time but was in no shape to tackle anything technical ( I could see boulder knew how I felt as he too knocked back any challenges that could involve the possibilty of picking up a bike :laugh: )
We got back to camp and after a quick refuel I wired up stms helmet and watched him try to put it on between chucks :sick: 😆 for someone so hungover he was riding well and we had a good time racing back to Capertee with the long twin track section really getting fast and fun.
We hit the road home but only made Taree by 10.30 and I could barely stay awake so we got a motel and left for the last leg at 5.30 this morning.
Thanks all OBTs for making this ride one of the greats for me, I had a ball
Well done mate you truly deserve the crown.
That said I don’t think I deserved your breath on the way home :laugh: :laugh: 👿 :sick: :sick:

Great bunch of bloke who I buy all my electrical gear off.
They have given us 4 led torches, a heavy duty ceiling fan ( ideal for cooling the man cave ) and a bag full of hats, t-shirts and drink bottles.

As I can’t pick up STM until 2 I thought I’d leave a bit early and see what I could scab for the auction
