What a great day- that would have to be one of the best days I have ever had on the bike.
The weather was perfect...I think we thought it was going to warm up...and it did....after the ride...so well done Al for the weather conditions.
My day was just full of laughs...the only real whoopsie I had has resulted in a huge bruise on the back of my thigh from when I dropped the bike and landed sitting up right on said fallen bike....hence one foot peg, straight into the thigh...OUCH
...Zeb found this very amusing as he sooked about his sore thumb...or as he would say...broken..the sook
...however Marls went out sympathy for me so we both had a lie down together...then Zeb just threw his arms up in the air...conceded defeat and lay down with us...Thank goodness Nick was there to regain some normalcy to the whole situation
.
I had fun "assisting" Peter Ross with a Log Jump....its ok mate...I've got your back!
Some of the erosion mounds and hills took me a little by surprise but fantastic for me to practice all I have learned...and I must say by the end of the day they weren't freaking me out as much...so that has to be a good thing.
Every regroup was hilarious as usual as all you guys and gals are just great to be out there with...there is always going to be someone to poo stir or encourage and just make your day that bit better.
Nathan got to experience the wonder of the butterfly TTR 230...I think he appreciated this experience...cheers for your help Nath...I definitely appreciate it
Just a shout out for Shaz....gee she rode well..im really happy for her as she has really come along and is enjoying her riding so much more.
Oh and just a tip for everyone...stay away from black berry bushes...bloody things!!
Waving to Seano
I did have a giggle as I came to an obstacle on the track and discovered having a lay down in the bushes was my li'l riding buddy Marls...see attached pics....what you doin down there Marls??
Thanks everyone for a really top day out....
Zeb and Johnny for all day tail duties...(and if I can just say im proud of me too as I barely saw Johnny all day...which means I was in amongst the pack a bit - so a bit happy with my riding)
Nick for tail stint when Johnny tailed Nathans loops - your a very patient man ...unlike Zeb
...joking Zeb.
in all seriousness though....if you get in strife then Zeb is certainly someone you want to have there with you...he will do anything to help...Thanks mate
Phil and Ted for being the gentlemen that you are
Nathan for his help - even though it was just an excuse to ride my bike..yeah im onto it
To my gal team Marls and Shaz...love being out there with you 2 xxx
Darren and Tony for photos....I usually take a heap, but must say I just I didnt this time..
To Peter Ross and Seano....the rock crossing saviours
John T and folks for the help getting over that big tree
Freddo and Tess for car park duties...
oh and there was an injury for the day:
Bullant : 1
Freddo : nil.....
And last but certainly not least AL MASON......YAY YAY YAY.....Thank you so much for putting this ride on....I laughed all day, sooked once - justifiably (have a bruise to prove and yes will milk it for sympathy
)
I enjoyed my riding and what I was able to accomplish for the day...I wanna go again!!!!!!!
So thanks for the fun..and to you guys who again ride past me and encouraging me with your Woo hoo...onya Bob...or your well done Bob cheers...Lefty and Tony H especially...you guys really do know how to boost the confidence...
And my best guy out there...Johnny D...as usual he is encouraging and supportive and will always boost my confidence ...and tell me to shut up when I talk too much
..
That's it from me...till next time...thanks everyone....luv Bob
