I need the 690 carted up as I have to tow my van up on the friday evening ,,,,
Needless to say, I would need the 690 returned to Newy as well :laugh:I am willing to throw in some $$$ to help with fuel if needed

You’ve also jogged my memory with the Adv ride for this weekend Eagle
I have a route layout that will work in the time we have on Saturday but could depend on numbers so anyone keen for the Adv ride should let us know ASAP so a ride can be tailored to suit 
Cheers

Thats correct Jacko

I got your message mate and I think I replied :S I have a gps with route and mount ready to go for the Adv ride.

Saturday
I woke up early and gave Chris a shout before heading out into the van park , everyone was up and looking very keen for what was about to come. Today we were also joined by Pep ,Bollocks, whanny, Kenny ,Steve from cycle tune and Kevdog on his new crf250. We geared up and rolled out of the park just after 7.30 , Boony took us up the mountain and into some nice twin trails , we took a rocky downhill which grabbed your attention straight away and I had a feeling I knew what was about to come. Sure enough a little creek crossing and a decent uphill known as ‘ the steps ‘ ( I think ?). It was a great arm pump hill and halfway up saw Krusty loose momentum and lay the Kato down. I followed Bollocks to the top impressed by his nice style on the new Crf450x.
Once we were all up the first hill everyone was frothing for more and the pace was on.
We entered some pine singles and I had a dice with Krusty who was getting along great in the tight stuff. I ended up behind Pep and thought I’d try to hang onto him , he was riding Bols Crf and I struggled to keep near him riding well out of my comfort zone. After hitting 3 trees with the barkbusters I decided to back off and admit defeat. Pep rides so well and floats through those pines at warp speed , it was great to watch. I stopped on a corner and had a bit of a wait before Chris-T showed up looking sheepish. Turned out he too had taken on a local and came off worse. He got behind Aaron in a sweet pine single and lined him up for a race , by all account he hung on for a while but Aaron goes really hard and Chris overshot a corner and folded his rear brake lever back on a stump.
Once we started heading to the berry patch we were in some nice 3/4th gear fast flowing single line trails and made our way to Parachute Hill. Boony warned us it could be loose so I entered with caution , I’ve heard so much about this hill over the years I took it slow at first. About half way down Pep and steve flew by so I let it go a bit and really enjoyed this long long downhill. I’ll take Boonys word for it that it’s a big drop off the side as I didn’t look
It was a nice fast ride to the famous Berry patch where a well deserved rest and top notch BBQ and ice cream dessert was enjoyed by all.
A splash of fuel and we hit the forest again , the ride back had the lot , some fast twin track , native bush singles , creek crossings , pine singles and a rocky mongrel of a climb called Fridge Hill.
Once again Snowy gave me a nod that the next section was gold and Sam and I slotted in behind him for a super fast single , smashing corners and flying over erosion mounds. I think Sam would agree this was another highlight About half an hour before the end of the dirt the fatigue was setting in for a few and a couple of little offs were happening. Adam had a huge get off as did Krusty on the same erosion mound with a rutfest landing. Both riders hit hard but got up unscathed.
Once on the tar Boony and Snowy announced the engine off rolling race down a steep tar hill with a couple of hair pins. I got a good start and ‘planked’ my bike trying to gain speed, soon Sam appeared to my right and glided past . We caught up to a 4wd right on a hair pin and I saw my chance with an inside pass to get the lead off sam
. I thought I’d got it when ChrisT appeared out of nowhere and the three of us laughed and whooped all the way to the finish line!!
Chris won by a length then sam by a wheel. Bugger Once back the first thing everyone did was dive in their Esky and hook in , we hit the pub again and had a great night also raising a few dollars for the local rural fire service. Back at the park the fire pit was face peeling hot so more cold beer was needed and plenty of laughs had.
As I had a big drive home I sadly missed Bols ride on Sunday but I’m sure it would have been a cracker
Huge thanks to Boony and Snowy for putting together a very well organized ride with a great mix of terrain in a great location. Your both legends
Damus , Polly and Bol for doing a great job sweeping and the locals that welcomed us to their trails.
I had a great time guys thanks heaps
Nick
