a good days riding but a hard day for the 2 smokes

set of this morning for a bit of a wonder
myself
graham
Nigel
Carl
rich
and sorry mate cant remember your name lol

cracking day out (apart from pushing and pulling the 2 smoke orange things most of the day) nice weather and plenty of new track as well as some old one.

first hill of the day nice little warm up for things to come see,s most of us up in one go apart from Nigel on the ktm decides to take a rest before attempting it again for the 3rd time









next hill climb was a proper hill first off its gives you the impression your getting near the top but in fact your only really at the half way stage over the brow and there it is just looming over you just seemed to go on and on.
photos really don't do it any justice, you just cant appreciate how long and steep this hill is until you see it in the flesh.
needless to say there were multiple failures from the orange 2 smokes
and a corker from carl on the crf.
tip of the day go blue








stoped at the top for a well earned breather and to take in the views.
few random ones to










time for a grub brake spot carls,s new friend






from here we entered Sherwood forest or at least that's what it looked like.



















a wrong turn see,s rich getting all hot and bothered looked a bit like a steam train by the time he re joined us









next lane proved some what difficult for the 2 smoke plenty of pushing pulling and swearing again








spot the stress starting to show on rich years of pulling his hair seems to be taking its toll




graham wishing he,s left a longer gap between him and the blue bike in front



team ktm on there arss again for the 40th time today




spot the legs!





some last random one on the way home an excellent day out haven't laughed so much for ages

brilliant steve as usual how the fuck do you know what sherwood forest looks like

Looked a belter, thats got to be better than the rock run...

good pics Steve. How on earth did you find those lanes up by the Goose and Cuckoo? and unless you didn't take pics of them it looks like you missed a few cracking lanes up around that way. Had I realised you were only up the road I'd have joined you.

You just reminded me of what we had gone through today Steve!!

and have started to ache...lol

Brilliant rideout thanks laughed all day, Ktm crew the [proffesional enduro riders] amongst us were having a mare of a day and providing the entertainment.

Dont think the piccies do justice these hills are big worse still very wet...lol

3 Heartbreak ridge
1 Hells gate step section

good pics as usual steve, really really good ride out today, first flip with this CRF and was captured on camera lol.

karlos i used to know all the tracks around there as when i was a teenager we used to do the routes every weekend,

good ride with a good bunch of lads....
