Chaps/ noobys come one come all. skill building ride. sunday afternoon 14/6/09

a casual trip up the pylon track at bottom of featherston side of the tuckers, just up from double bridges, for them not in the know.

there is a couple extra tracks in the aera that i feel we should look in to while we are there as well.

this ride mostly for noobys to join in for a light days fun on two wheels.

so bring ya happy face and we take it from there.

meet at concret blocks aprox 11.am
start time can be changed depending on riders needs.

but not to late..........it gets cold quick in the evenings....

unfortunately I can't do Sunday arvo - family birthday

I don't know that I'd call the pylon track 'casual' - the descent has a few clenching moments

[junkmanjoe]

i do belive there has been a dozer up there, so it could be tidyed up, not sure on that one.

sat or sun dosnt reaily mater.

[Ronin]

Not sure the GS is the most suitable weapon for this ride else I would be in.

[junkmanjoe]

well the other option is a quite tootle around summer hill.
coffie at gladstone pub to start and coffie at toppys to finish.
thats a nice easy ride.
be great to meet up with other local riders.

I wouldn't want to do it on road tyres. While it's not generally a rough track it gets faiurly steep and last time we went up the surface was best decribed as 'loose', so some sort of knobbly is helpful.

[junkmanjoe]

well other option is do pylon track in morning and then do summer hill, after lunch.
be enough time for both.
and tittys as well......mmmmmmmmmmm coffey..

+1 Any n00bs not been on steep, loose descents before and/or on heavy bikes would find the pylon track descent chok full of clenching moments i would say!

If Joe is right and a dozer has been up there it could be ok but any heavy rain and the channels etc would be right back I would think!

The worst that can happen is that you will end up at the bottom, which was where you were headed anyway. NIKE

And if i drop the DR just right I could bend the riser bolt back the other way into a straight position!

OOOOh a new skill to learn in adventure riding. Dropping to order, or planned crashing.

We are at the cutting edge of something big here.
