[xen]

Hey in the photo of Reckless.... Xen you look a bit out of shape in the background, is that the beginning of the spill your taking in the photo of you hitting the dirt?

Clmintie, cheers again for the photo taking

Cool mate we'll do a loop I'll see if I can keep up with you!!!

Be wary of Antrax. He goes pretty good on the KDX.
Came sneaking up on the boys on his last lap and put the pressure on.

[Reckless]

Yeh I already know he's a mad bastard by the way he passed us on the way there at 120k + on Hwy 22 with his trailer on!!

Anyway don't mind being last! I'm over riding at 125% and getting hurt all the time. I'm sticking to pushing along at 98-100% with the odd mistake and live to ride twice a week if I can!
Actually need to ride with faster guys so I can learn more about technique and bike set up!

[Sammikins]

Thanks mate! Very Sloooowly getting the hang of the new bike and MXing in general. Not quite on your pace yet but improving I hope!

Dry Dusty as expected but Thunder was pretty rough I thought. The wash board areas where pretty bad in places. Mind you as the speed (and track familiararity) got up throughout the day, the faster you went over them the better! Not much challenge in the hills when its not muddy but overall was really good to ride with the faces I haven't met before. I shoulda gone up top and met the guys up there, sorry guys! Still haven't met Ktm boy and Dammad1 either. But really good to be out on a lovely day, riding!

PS Hope Sammikins isn't to sore today after her first real trip to a bike park and we didn't put her off by dragging her round the B loop. Good effort you go girl!
PSS She slept some of the way home LOL!!!

Now to see if I can slip out to the Sandpit Sunday???

LMAO I'm still sore now! And I wasn't sleeping... I was.. er... resting my eyes, they were sore!

Hey it was a nice long straight and I was back to 90-100 after that (You was only doing 70-80 so probably looked fast to you )

Just given you a bit of stick there was no Danger in it! I was probably distracted by my young passenger anyway! Usually travel at about 110k-ish with two bikes on any faster the old 4WD sucks the gas like hell!
