Calling a OVT ride this Sunday

Meet at 8:30 on the bike by 9:00

About 200kms of sand mostly open flowing trails

Will need a fuel range of around 100 to 120kms of sand riding

We will be stopping in Seabird for fuel and lunch

This will be a bit of a recon ride for the JB500 2 day jurien bay ride in September

MickKal

Anyone want to join me for a east lakes ride on Sat? I want to map out a new single at the back of mt Obs, the ride would be mainly single and be around 85klm?

HaHa... Just gotta hit it 30kph faster!

Pounce

What bridge building material can you supply Beej?
There's only one plank left on it now.

JNR

No worries Beej, if we take a chainsaw, a tank & start cutting them in now they will be ready for 2030 4day 😳😁

Good work on the ride boys! Can you hit the same trails every week for us so that we don't have to get so wet when we mark it out lol

Pounce

So all the flowing open tracks I surmised we'd be riding turned into very overgrown guesswork with trees down everywhere.
We honed our skills on slippery tracks, slippery logs, boggy peat, & water, so much water.
As the guys said, I can't believe how wet we got on a sunny day. Every bush shed its gallons of water onto us as we bashed our way through old tracks that haven't seen bikes in a long long time. Every downed tree meant finding a way passed which meant more water down our necks.
My hands were dyed black from my gloves, I poured at least 300ml of water out of each boot but it was a great ride regardless

Thanks to Jnr & Tommy for a good ride & yes my fire was still burning when I got home so I got warm quickly.

I'll say it again, there are so many unused & old tracks down here.

Tommy

Thanks to Pounce for leading the ride on a nice dry Sunday morning the fast open tracks that you promised will be good fun IF you ever find then lol
I have never been so wet riding a bike on a lovely dry day and not falling of on a river crossing
Bashing through the virgin bush with all the rain still on the leaves was good fun and every time we had to hop over fallen wet logs it was 50 50 that it was going to end wrong, but no one got hurt and it was entertaining we cut the ride short as we were all soaking wet and getting cold a few beers after then the drive home.
A special thanks to JNR for taking me down and bringing me home

JNR

Thanks for the ride today Pounce & Tommy was a good decision to ride Sunday & not Saturday but 2 questions for ya Pounce : Where’s the open tracks down there & can you delete your weather app 😁
No idea why we were all soaked with no rain on open tracks 🤔😁
See you out there again soon 🤙

Bunga

And a touch cool too Pounce 🥶

Pounce

It is going to be a bit wet on the ground tomorrow...

Tommy

See you on Sunday Pounce

Pounce

Sunday.
Riding down my way, it will be a bit experimental as I'm looking at the below track to see what it's like.
Leaving mine around 9am but prefer earlier if you can get here before then.
It's around 80k's, we've done some of it but I think most of it is open trails from what I can suss.

Pounce

I have the route that was planned for the 4 day enduro that was supposed to happen last year around my area if we want to try that.
I can't guarantee what it will be like but we can have a crack at it.

Tommy

I'm keen for a ride

JNR

Anyone heading out over the weekend?
