some parts werent my cup of tea, like the part with the huge drop offs to one side. but i enjoyed 95%of it. pitty about the guys not riding to the conditions and having some good get offs, theres no shame in slowing down.

Enjoyed the first and last 10k's , found the middle of the trail where there was rough pugging a little hard on the arms since I was on a quad without a steering stabilizer.

I had a faulty alternator so only completed 1 lap as it rose to a head about 23-25 k's through when the battery had no juice left and caused the bike to shut down.Managed to get it going again and limped it back but that was it for the day.

Enjoyed this seasons rides and looking forward to 09/10's!

Hey guys it was a good ride. Dusty but good. Aside from Oldguy who is really not that old lol and the mates I came with, I didn't meet any other kbers.

Anyone do the amazing goat track along the side of the cliff face instead of following the sign pointing upwards? It was crazy narroe like 1/4 foot wide ! MEAN !! was thining man my R6 would die if she got this high lol, I even ran into a stray sheep and chased him up a hill

Bloody good fun.....

I usually follow Sophie on these rides while Grace zooms on ahead, but with Sophie not there today I got to hoon a bit behind Grace. Boy has she got faster... Today marked the 1st anniversary of her trail riding and with 80 hours on the KX, she sure has improved...

Here's a few random pix, have to confess the riding was too good to stop with the camera much... Missed out on a fourth loop by 5 mins.....

That was pretty fun Had some problems on a couple of the uphills, getting the hang of them a bit better now tho. Agreed with flyingcr250, I'm a bit cautious on the cliffy drop off bits, but the fast open parts near the middle/end were really fun. Would have liked another go around but oh well that's how the cookie crumbles! I was kinda tired anyway That bumpy stuff is hard on your hands.
Can't wait to get another year of riding under my belt and come back next year!

[clmintie]

A few more,

I think Grace was telling him to harden up, prayer's not going help....

We had to wait wile the chopper landed, so Grace handed out jelly worms........

[clmintie]

Last ones, with an "arty" to finish.....

Looking forward to next year.............

More great photos, how do you manage not recking your cameras while riding,
A) not falling off
B) Falling carefully
c) just take a older camera around with yourself and not worrie about it.
