I’m in !!You know you want to GOCMAN. The Maddening it is.
Hopefully this will be the complete run through for the ride.
Up 2 steps , up the 2day pro hill and across to 3 steps to go down. :silly:
Tunnel of love , ski jump? or bypass, up team Galeys , most likely down heart attack hill or up it if GOCMAN badgers me enough, short heart attack hill then THE MADDENING AT SPEED with a clean run to the top, up Galeys, down clay hill up zigzag, then cycle track to the pine singles!
Definitely a grade 4 ride this Monday lads.
Shitty , LC has been talking you up so you will need to bring it!
Come on BOB we need you there!
Galey
Nice work MadManiac. A good highlights package there showing a bit of everything and everyone.
I might use your video with the timed sections to give the punters an idea of where and what happened in part 2 of the report.
Missed you on the trails Marty450. Hope all goes well for you all.

Wazzup. you never give up on those hills, until someone pulls the pin because they are laughing so much.
GOCMAN wrote::whistle: Haha, I was hoping that would of went unnoticed. :laugh:Anyway, we all regrouped and the decision was made to head back to camp for lunch, Galey was leading so he took off and I thought I’ll have a run with him. 👿
We were on a fire trail and the finely tuned 300 was in warp speed and coming into a corner, I couldn’t pull it up in time. It was like it was in slow motion I thought if I turned bars to go around the corner ( Mals suggestion )
the back end will be all over the place, there was a bit of a drop off and the bike came to a stop just over the edge of the hill. :ohmy:So I’m trying to pull the mighty 300 back onto the fire trail and Mal gave me a hand while having a good old laugh ( thanks buddy )
I turned around thinking that only Mal was there , but the whole group was watching on ( how embarrassment :dry: )
Nice work Wolfie. :laugh:
Mal5.1, tell me you got that on the GoPro!
Gocman , you should know by now that you cant run with the Galey! I was wondering what the big delay was. Yes turning the bars helps going around corners, but as what you did going straight on helps you keep braking hard with the meat of the tyre rather than on it edge. Then again sometimes you can lean it into the corner and brake carefully with the front and slide it around the corner with the rear. It also allows you to use more of the corner and if you are lucky you might even have a berm on the outside of the corner to rail or get ejected. Just watch Mal5.1 a bit more when he isnt sweeping. You were going warp speed on the freshly rebuilt 300.
Two banger I will PM you a list of Mad Monday dates. Tuff tuesdays dont work for me.
Coaching clinic over

Some good ideas here for trail finding! :woohoo:
Time to get rid of that GasGas Mal5.1. Christophe Nambotin is now KTM 300 mounted. Get with the program mate!
A hardy team was assembled ready for some Sunny Corner Madness consisting of Wazzup (XR400), GOCMAN ,MadManiac(ktm300), Scotty(RMX250)Homey(Berg300),MedogRocket(Big mother 570 Berg),Mal5.1(Christophe Nambotin GasGas300) Wolfie(ktm450)Adam(ktm350).
Straight into the pine single with no issues then over to a slippery rocky downhill and no dramas. A easy /hard split with a new little hill section in the pines and a bypass around the madness. Wazzup,Adam and Gocman got lost as the trail was hard to see in spots ,so super sweep Mal and I set them straight.
A super rocky downhill trail was bypassed for a rocky downhill trail due to the group skill level, which ended up at the Dozer track for Homey and I to roll down. This has been earmarked for LC,riderX and Ev to ride up without doing a ghosty.
2 and 3 steps were missed out and as Mal suggested these are a must for the grade 4/5 ride and I agree. The tunnel of love caught out Adam and Wolfie. It is always abit slippy here as it has lots of shade during the day. Well done to Wolfie for giving it a fair crack.
The Ski run was bypassed but Wazzup had a out of shape moment, then again who doesnt on that thing, and dropped the xr4. No harm done thought Wazzup, but fuel coming out is OK , dark black stuff is not OK. The old girl was quickly patched up and we continued on to camp for the BBQ lunch where we said farewell to Adam,Mal and Medog.
Back on the trail we headed for the ZigZag hill we most having no issue. galey’s was next and Gocman and Maniac feature in Scotty’s video on this hill.
Once again Wolfie gave it a fair crack , punching above his ride grade, nearly looping out a few times. Wazzup was also keen to master this hill but a lack of momentum halted his charge.Time for a grade 3 trail ride we followed the cycle track out the the very rutted 3 stage hill.( see Mal5.1 pic
