Was a dam good day thanks WMCC. Was great to catch up with heaps of people I havent seen in a while.

[IIIRII]

Only fell off about 75 times, so yeah all good ...

Anyone here who thought the red loop was too hard?
I put a deviation around the long sandy uphill halfway throught the day as it was causing problems and would like some feedback about the rest of the loop.
Obviously we have to be challenged now and again to improve our riding but I am wondering if it was too much.

[ArcherWC]

nope it was just fine :-)

[noobi]

there was nothing there that was hard that couldnt be bypassed by less confident riders. except the one that you bypassed
we wouldve done another of the big loop had i not displayed poor log hopping skills.
i saw plenty of smaller bikes on the track.
is the next one going to be in the same place with a similar track?

Nope it was great Bill.

I ain't as good as some but managed the long sandy hill by stopping just once (which is pretty good for me) But had some fun at the top just as i thought i had made it along came that hairpin bend and whoops oneside to the other and back again and then flung the bike at the tree! No damage to me or bike thank God but laying in heap the two guys sitting on their KTMs must have had a good laugh watching me!
Met two old timers up the top old WMCCers had a yarn like ya do then KTMboy came along moaning about arm pump! I got that.... but later!

Next hill I lost it on the bottom corner as front washed out and no momentum to get up hill so gave up as KTMboy billygoated up the hill past me and on no particular line! I wandered off on the boys bit. then got lost ! but found the way outin the end.

Kids loved it. Especilly that hill at the end of the green track.

Great ride. well done WMCC and thanks to all the people who put out, planned and retreived all the markers etc.... etc..... etc..... roll on the next one. right now

Not hard enough

Not hard enough

I like your style chop.

Have to admit though Billaroo, I was struggling with arm pump with so many whooped bits but as the Marines say - 'PAIN IS JUST WEAKNESS LEAVING THE BODY.' Special mention re that little section on the bushy gully, I always particularly enjoy that bit when it's added. Me and mate didn't have enough gas left for a 3rd time round the red so had a quick scuttle around yellow and green. They were very good as well, loved that part on green where trees seemed to suddenly close in on you - like stumbling onto a neat movie set. Thanks again.

Seemed Ok to me and I only ride about three times a year these days or so it seems. Top effort, Congrats to you Phil and the others.

Really hard to cater for everyone.
Loved the whole lot. Its good to add variation and to make folks want to challenge themselves, after all thats what off road biking is all about.(otherwise join the road bike section)

Whoops, tight stuff, hill climbs, roots, wide open flat out sections, down hills, mud, clay, sand (have I missed anything). Our Kids had an absolute ball just being kids.
Its the total experience and if you didn't enjoy something then its time to get out of your comfort zone and say "I want to enjoy this terrain, How can i master it?"

Well its a good discussion point. Jeez we should have a conference?
It was all good.

spot on KTMBOY, i find it funny when people say "I hate riding ........" it's like... that's only 'cos you suck! now get stuck in and have a ball
