Great job leading big group @ohmygewd , only half a day for me on Saturday but that was enough for me as I was feeling it from Gypsy`s Friday ride. Thanks for organizing this ride and hopefully we can do it again one day, few photos from the ride:

Chainsaw battle between @Gypsy501 and @riles , fun camping

Also few photos from the ride:

Third time at Goughs Bay and definitely one of my favorite places to ride. Eight of us on the Friday level 3+ ride and what a great fast group of riders to ride with, trying to keep up with the boys was a big work out for me but after lunch and going sweep made my day riding more relaxing. Never ending downhills and uphills, tight tracks with logs, rocks and roots, play hills, the views, this ride had it all, loop around 90km. Thanks Gypsy for the great job you done leading this ride and letting me join your ride, perfect ride with only one puncture what was fixed in few minutes and riding for a great cause RCHGFA Royal Children's Hospital Good Friday Appeal. Short video from the ride:

First ride after 8 or 9 weeks and what a day to be back on the bike, 10 degrees at 9am and rain for first hour or two, could not believe it is summer with the conditions we had yesterday. As promised when posted the ride we did have few extra breaks then normal and the pace was pretty relaxed, few play hills where I enjoyed watching Crusty, Crusty`s plus one and Chris going up some very steep tricky hills. I was happy with extra breaks as I definitely did need them, hopefully more rain coming before weekends so more riding. When I got on the bike after a long break (9 weeks is long for me) I realized how much I missed riding and how much fun I have while riding so hopefully plenty rides to come. Thanks boys for coming, great crew and see you all soon on the next one. SHORT VIDEO: [/url]

Can you please next time make the ride report bit shorter, too much information to read [emoji3][emoji3][emoji3][emoji3]

And a short vid of play hills:

Five of us started this ride and three finished with no injury, two out of action for a while, not a happy ride. Started with some nice tight tracks and plenty of hills to play on, conditions little bit dusty but not to bad. Was all going great till the first injury, seeing someone badly hurt it takes the motivation to ride again but after getting the injured rider back to the cars we decided to continue as it was still early in a day. Lost my mojo to ride again so few mistakes while riding and just no motivation to ride and after two hours latter it happened again, another rider of the bike pinned between sharp rock and the bike with footpeg pushing in his leg. Another two back to the cars while me and Gypsy continued to ride as I could not say no to Gypsys offer of showing me some interesting tracks and a nice hill. Glad I decided to continue to ride as I did get some of my mojo back and loved the flowing tracks and especially one hill we did, we did talk about that hill few times during the day and with the stuff happening the decision was not to go there. Looks like Gypsy couldn't help him self and he had to take me there without any warning, the name of the hill is C..t hill so I knew that would be something extreme, once I made it up he told me thats that hill with the big smile on his face, surprisingly I got up pretty good while earlier in the day with no mojo I struggled on much smaller/easier hills. Good loop and hopefully we can do it again but with no injuries, thanks Gypsy and speedy recovery for the riders. Only few photos:

Thanks boys for coming, could not ask for a better group of riders, we moved pretty good and cant believe we finally finished the whole loop 73km`s. I would call this perfect conditions for riding, rain/showers for first hour in the morning what made the tracks more interesting, we started with 12 riders and finished with 5. Pretty sure everyone had fun on this ride as I could tell by the smiles on the faces and highlight of the day was Crusty`s comment when I told him at the corner to tell everyone to go straight up some very rocky track between two big rocks, his comment ``What are you doing to us, you trying to kill us`` I had heaps of fun on this ride, I love Cobaw my favorite place to ride, huge thanks to Dakota for showing me around Cobaw as 99% of the loop we done yesterday is what Dakota showed me, the only difference is I looped it bit different while trying to find his tracks. Good to see few riders I didnt see for a while and I know you hate me Toys but I still love you . Thanks for the photos Riles and good news you found your backpack. Hopefully we can do another ride at Cobaw soon, few photos:

No good Russ, now I have to make sure not to get injured in next 12 to 16 weeks [emoji16]

Another great ride at Dissa thanks to 2t4me, was killing me not knowing will I be able to join this ride till last minute, yes I did have work on Friday and double time offered but Dissa ride was calling and glad I made the decision to join the ride, great group of riders, the pace was great with fun tracks, hills, creeks, rocks, mud and one tree what nearly ended my day early. Sorry for not staying for BBQ and chat but little bit panicked after my tree hugging incident as my hip was pretty sore so quickly home for some ice pack. My favorite part of the day was the 3rd gear hill, sitting there with my camera and watching the boys flying up that hill, could not stay too long as the level 3 ride was starting to move. Thanks Hoff for not running me over that hill . Big thanks to everyone involved in organizing this ride, BBQ, sweeps and hopefully see you all again next year. Also huge thanks to this forum DirtriderZ as without this forum I don`t think we would have these rides happening, thank you. Few photos: Level 4 riders: Level 3 riders: My tree

Just a quick video from 3rd gear hill, level 3 and 4, enjoy
