Great video Dave  Smiley

I would like to thank MatR for leading, the sweep for sweeping and all the guys helping me when I came unstuck.

I was riding like a complete twat, for some reason I could not get it together, my lines were wrong, I was off balance and riding all over the place.  Came off on a couple of hills and one bigish rocky hill I managed to get about 3/4 the way up and lost traction on the lose rocks  Angry  Also it was a day for the CRF230's to have issues, cause Lucy's bike didn't want to play from the moment we unloaded it and after about an hour of riding mine decided it wanted to cut out.

Hubby and few guys got mine running again, but she still ain't right, reving too high on tick over and she's got terrible wind popping all over the place.  After about 2 hours of riding there were a few going back to the cars, so I decided to go back as well because how crap I was riding and also how crap my bike was running.

Lowlights

Lucy's bike not starting
Helena throwing the towel in after 30 mins of riding
My bike playing up
Some guy with a water leak (thanks to the rock that he dropped it on)
Jamie hating rocks (hey girlie keep it up because if you can ride that terrain you will be good most places)

Hightlight

Had fun
Hubby loved the 2nd half of the ride esp the bog holes
Everyones just great to ride with

Hey Dave, Once again Mate Thanks for a great morning ride, they are getting better every time. Will
P.S Hey Mat your arvo ride was one of the best Cobaw Level 1 rides I've done, was great to do some other trails which we I had not done before.

I like Cobaw , sweet spot for riding , sandy/rocky track gives a good traction and a bit of skill testing too. Rain held off , and wasn't cold at all.
See you guys on the next one !

Had a great ride at Cowbaw on sat. Would just like to thank Mat for putting on the ride and all the effort involved in ensuring everyone had a great day. My thanks also to the sweep rider for his assistance to all the riders where needed.

Highlights for me was getting on the pace a lot more now my suspention is all sorted out, and the rocky hill climbs, oh and i just gotta mention the fun to be had on that last track we did with the bog holes and technical hill climbs..

Low points ...

Sarah (Alleys) bike broke down mid bush and its still not running right, think its a blocked jet in the carby..

Lucy, sarahs freind we took her bike had a major fuel leak and we couldnt fix it so she missed the ride.. Sorry Lucy...

Helena, sorry you had to go.. was looking forward to riding with you..

Thanks again guys, great day, great tracks great ppl..

The helmet cam i am running is the ATCK2 action cam it was worth about 200 bucks last year when i brought it new.

Its ok, but there are better around if you want to spend the $$$$$$$$
