I might see if I can ditch these Metzeler 6 days tyres before the weekend too.
Can I have the front one please Moto if you dont want it? Will swap you for damper fitting etc :laugh:

Yeah I got to say that Scott’s pace all weekend was impressive, the DR looked good on the trail and yeah to have confidence in a front end with a half worn front tyre (even a Michelin) is gold he never dropped it all weekend and in those conditions there was no shame in having a dirt nap

Well as recommended By ECKS-man the bulls visited the Roberts Bakery to sample there culinary delights, here’s some pictures to prove it
And as mentioned by a certain person when they read the ride report and saw the photos, not a scooter or a *#& person in sight :laugh:
Was very good ECKS two thumbs up from me mate, well done

OK so checked and sitting out on the veranda having a Bundy with Kylie and Dan I get a bloody long splitter in my leg SOAB!! Kylie dug around and around forever getting it out god bless her she was so worried about hurting me but by this stage I would have just cut it along the splitter with a razor blade if I had had one. But she kept at it and did a two thumbs up job
Nurse Kylie with a small part of the on going process that was the splitter removal
Once everyone was showered and smelling better I made my way down the brains trust table
The meals turned up and again the Hillend pub bistro turned it on
Rocket’s steak
Mal 5.1’s steak
Mal 5.1 was unable to contain his excitement for the whole two days, below you can see the excitement just dribbling from him
Dan and I went and locked the bikes up
Then it was back to the hour of power while the world’s problem got solved
Mal (from Sutto’s) and Andrew turned up on their 625 katos having completed the better part of the bridle in the dark dodging roos and mountain goats (yes Boony sounds like heaven for you I know)
The tribe then took over the jute box and pool table. Mal confessed to being some sort of pool champion and he and crash started a rule of the table until Kylie and I took over the trophy for a short time. Kylie again showed her competitive nature at the pool table which frankly scares the shit outa me no wonder Dan is as whipped as he is
Lots of fun had here
Mal 5.1 the pool shark
Crash the slam man, if you hit the balls hard enough in a small table something has to sink
You can see Kylie’s competitive streak from here
Scotty watched on
I was paired with Kylie after she refused to team with Dan again because well he was embarrassing to watch play pool, it was during this game that I some what hit a ball rather hard this saw the orange ball leave the table, when we went to recover it found it had hit crash, or so he claimed
Mal (Sutto’s) sat and watched the antics, what a hell of a nice guy that can wheel stand a bike
Crash and Mal 5.1 carried on for a bit before the went of the bed
DAY 2
I woke early in the morning and went for a sit on the veranda, Dan and Kylie soon joined me, we could see Crash walking around Hillend reading the signs and generally doing the tourist bit.
Everybody was soon suited up for our 8am leave, we left and rode straight through to the top of the valley over looking the Long Point crossing and the Macquarie River. Dan and Crash changed bikes so it was to be Dan and I up the front on the fiddys, from here we rode down and crossed the river again and headed to the twin trail that joins the Ophir Rd and Long Point rds. This is a fantastic twin trail that you can really get into, it includes switch back and a creek crossing, ups and downs it has it all, and including a big washout that Dan collected at speed and had a moment.
From there we rode out to Ophir and had a walk through the caves
Group shot
Light at the end of the tunnel
From there we rode back to the cars and Novice left to head home, we put on some wet weather gear because it had started raining and headed to town for brunch, we went to Roberts’s bakery as recommended by ECKS in the pie thread
Mal (Sutto’s) and Andrew left for what would be a wet ride back to Sydney via Wombeyan Caves, cheers for coming along guys
We headed out to Mt Canobolas and cut some sweet very very slippery wet singles I had a lay down trying to get up an impossible (for the wet) hill, Rocket had a go but didn’t get that far because his tyre was rooted. Crash and I both fell over trying to walk down the hill in question. From there we rode around slipping and sliding until we came to the bottom of what has been named BOB’S HILL, it’s the hill that I took the photo of LC and Moto pushing the Kato’s up after Bob rode up with a bald tyre on our 4 day ride
Well the hill was very different it was wet, very wet and being clay based the general thought was no one would get to the top, being the leader I had first crack but turns out I took the wrong line trying to get a better run up
Fiddy stopped
From my vantage point I then took some photos and video, again it was discussed with Crash via Bluetooth that the hill was not going to be beaten this day
Scotty having a crack
Scotty turning around

Few having a go on the hill
Turns out that no one told Mal 5.1 the hill couldn’t be done this day, watch him go what a legend
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCp8tvn9wms
That was it then we started to head out of the forest when Crash had a big crash, it started with me running wide on a very slippery corner and nearly into the drop beside the track, I yelled to crash on the blue tooth to watchout slippery and corner tightens. Crash just shut the throttle and it was that slippery the compression locked the back wheel and he became a passenger, Mal has photos that do some justice to how long he slipped and slid for because he ate it. He replaced his broke front brake lever and we got going back. We punched out a quick couple of loops behind the olds and then loaded and headed home.
Thanks to
Mum and Gabba for the parking spot
Mal and Andrew for turning up and riding the Bridle trail in the dark to be there, very brave I reckon
Everyone for making the effort to join in my last ride for sometime and the last ride for the polka dot jersey, it’s been put out to pasture
Everyone for putting up with Saturdays dust and Sunday’s rainMore to follow later, some high lights etc
TB
Love the MD and WG play with words Blue oh so true
