JNR

Thanks for a great weekend Antt & Eddie conditions were perfect & the loops were %200 better than last year so we’ll done to T & E club.

And as for getting up early for the riders meeting pffft both of us had to go to the toilet side by side & let go of some chilly sausage from the night before & my wingman had to double flush & bail out & leave me with his stench & blame, I was just praying that no one was gonna walk in as I was walking out :( and Antt is over at the car having a chuckle.

Ps for those who go camping with Antt put your swag far far away cause I think a trumpet is quieter than his arse.

See you out there soon.

Adventure Rally 2019

JNR and myself loaded up the bikes and camping gear and headed down to Mornington Mills for the 32nd Adventure Rally on Saturday arvo.
We setup camp and got the fire pit blazing. JNR proudly bought it from Bunnings for $40.
We watched as the kids all left from the family day and waited for the influx of Crusty’s and PAR riders, but it wasn’t to be. Not sure what happened to the guys that were coming but good old Eddie rolled in at the last minute and kept us company. We did meet two PAR guys and had a few laughs with them on Sunday.
Plenty of people had fires going this year which made the night a lot more enjoyable.
Chef JNR cooked up a couple of burgers over the fire and I supplied a couple of Creeping Reaper snags. I had warned JNR these were pretty special with a hell of a kick. He didn’t seem convinced until just after his first bite. They supplied the warmth for the rest of the night.
Few beers and tall stories then we hit our swags. Pretty warm in mine as it had reverse cycle and luckily there was no rain.
We were up nice and early for the riders briefing and prize draw. Looks like there was only 130 odd riders so chances of getting a prize was pretty good. Oh yeah, Bunga you won a tyre but weren’t there to collect so it went to the next person. Damn shame.
First loop was about 65km and the second was 45km long. Lots of new tracks due to the logging and fires. It was pretty cold on the hands early on but all good once we warmed up.
JNR took off and I kept a steady pass early on. Eddie left us for dead at the start.
After the lunch Chef JNR cooked us we took off and rode most of the second loop with a bunch of young pommy guys. Great fun and awesome tracks. I binned it near the end chasing one of the poms so took it a bit easier from there.
We were on the road before 3 heading home. Perfect conditions, no dust or heat, great tracks and no chopper this year. Hopefully next year the numbers get back up. Two other events were in on this weekend so that’s hurt them.

Still time to enter the Rally! with the rain making the already awesome trails perfect. Low numbers this year will make this one not to miss!

Welcome Benduro.

Good luck in the Finke Inver & Dazza.

Tommy

Welcome Benduro like Mickkal said keep an eye on the board for a ride you seem to have all bases covered with those bikes

MickKal

Welcome on Board Benduro, a very nice selection of bikes there. Usually something happening here for Adventure or Enduro style rides most weekends, jump in and join a ride and or call one around your local trails. I am out for this weekend going to try a Vinduro at Greenbushes for something different.

Benduro

DazzaM

Cheers to Inver for organising Saturday’s Finke Training Ride and XrCass for sucking in several bikes dust while doing sweep duties, also to for BigGee bringing along a few mates.
Inver did a great job of leading us through a 150 odd Kay ride with some sections reminding me of what we are going to expect in 4 weeks time when we line up to have a crack at the Finke again this year.
Sand riding is not everyone’s cup of tea and make it dusty as well and all riders did a great job and pace was up there all day as well
As Cass said, throw is some water and lets do it again:)

Thanks again to Inver, XrCass and BigGee and his three mates

Bunga

Cheers Inver

XRCass

Nicely led Inver ... 150km of very comfortable riding. Took it easy up the back and was able to grab a few photos here and there that will post up. With a bit of rain can do this every weekend !!

Bunga

That’s a very good price mate, I got a second hand one that’s the new model for $450 so your price is very good value considering a new one is close to $600.

jace

Hi guys I am selling a giant loop coyote saddlebag if anyone wants one it's the older model with zipper not roll top was only used twice so fairly new condition after $200 call me on 0414384264 if interested located in Byford thanx

Bunga

Registered for next weekends Adventure Rally. Hopefully a few Crustys will be coming down for a camp out Saturday and probably a few to many beers around the camp fire.

BigGee

See you gents at the OVT in the morning. Planning a ride park weekend with the kids end of May so won’t make the camp out.
