Title: Where I ride when not racing. New pics added......
Post by: OZinUS on December 02, 2009, 01,56:23 AM
When not racing this is where we go most often. This farm is owned by some good friends, who love to ride.  I wont rave on too much. I will use photo's to tell most of the story..

My caravan, I have not towed it yet. More like a holiday home.

Across the creek another 500 acres dedicated to single track. We are not riding over there at the moment as it is very wet.

The creek was over the banks flooded just a few weeks ago

Dont make a mistake here. 200mm to the left and you drop eight feet into the creek.

Dinner time. It is deer season at the moment. Etris went hunting at dusk. He was back 30 minutes later with this doe. Then 30 more minutes later we had it skinless, hind legs, front quarters, loins and rib meat in an esky.

That was a weekend away with my son. Always relaxing to be away from work..  I did not ride this weekend. Thats why so many pictures. ;D
I am trying to rest my wrist, which I thought I broke two weeks ago. Just badly sprained, hoping it will be ok for a race next Sunday..
Hope I didnt bore anyone..
If you want to come visit anytime. I can organise a ride no problem ;D

Thanks Marls, yes down around the creek it is sandy, it changes to black loam then red Georgia clay further from the creek. Good mix of riding conditions.

I'm bored with envy!

That's not in a "Rural Conservation Zone"  :P
Reference to where the club's property is.

How far away from home is that Stuart?

There's no doing things by halves in the US, I thought your van was big until I saw the other 2 at the camp site. Don't call the van a "holiday home" call it home & live in heaven full time !!!

I have a mate that lives in Wisconsin, and your property reminds me a lot of his place.  I suspect it looks spectacular in Fall (Autumn).

He, too is a mad deer hunter (shooter).  His missus bagged the first for the year, she hit a doe in the family car on the way home.  She backed up (to make sure the doe was dead) and ran over the (baby) dear that was following.  Score 2 for team human!

I spent a fair bit of time cruising around his property in his 6 wheel drive Polaris thingy.  My eldest daughter enjoyed that too!  So we made her the official beer fetching person!

Ah, the knowlege we impart on our children!

 ;D

In this State when you buy land it belongs to YOU. :D Especially in the country area's. Housing developments are a bit different.
It is about 1.5 hour drive NE of home.

Have added new pictures from the Farm. tried to remember where I took them last time..  As you can see, Spring has arrived and the landscape is vastly different. Things are now a little greener.  This is the single track section. I will try to get them in the same order as the earlier pics..
