Had an absolute blast !
Great mix of tracks and challenges
Started with 7 of us , got ghosted by 2 more , but took off around 9 as planned ,
first section was lots of black sand , fast flowing , some technical sections, then into the pines
Next area , heading sth went through some older unmaintained tracks with a few trees down, giving some challenges ,
managed to get by all of them.
Good mix of bikes had either a ding ding behind ya or the smell of one in front ( 3 ding dings) like a step back in time.
One tube change ( twice) on the track. Around this area, bout half way across the mountain range, with the most greasy , clay and mudded tracks (
) to wards our lunch spot where some ding ding fuel had been stashed , week before.
After lunch a figure 8 of some connecting technical sections in sand again and we started heading home, back through the lovey muddy and slick stuff .and more tree obsticles
Jeff D had a broken gear shift by this stage so we headed back to the cars and Jeff and Shane "Erlzberg" loaded up and headed off.
As we were on 110ks by now , and still an hour of day light , Chappa owed us at least 10ks on our promised 120
So 5 of us took off for some flat out black sand tracks , for about 20Ks , and got us back absolutely buzzing
Quick pot and a parma on the way home , perfect day
