Hopefully shud have my new 12 litre tank by then so lost sounds cool-the 8litre one thats on it now means walking out when lost

Peter you shouldnt even consider going out with wife that close- oh forgot shes a rider to so she would understand baby cant arive till after ride finished

Hi Peter/Mick

I have checked the weather predictions and are not looking favourable - whats your thoughts?

We could relocate the ride to Mt Mee where the terrain is less influenced by rain (not so much clay...)

I'm fairly keen to hit glass house regardless of weather

Peter GG · 08-25-2011, 11:53 PM

Hey Guys..

Spoke to the guy at the cafe this afternoon.. they have only had the 'odd shower' - still being reasonably dry / clear.

In his opinion, the Brisbane forecast as such usually wouldnt extend past Caboolture.

I will check the radar in the morning around 5.30am and see what the go is.

Stay tuned.

Thanks.

Weather seems ok see u in the am

There has been a bit of rain up there now, so should be lots of fun for the mud larks.

Peter GG · 08-26-2011, 12:07 PM

Hey guys.. just looking at the Bom rader and doesn't look too good.. there has been a fair amount of rain this morning and more on route..

Hope you enjoy the day for those that may venture out.

Cheers.

Few pics from another brilliant ride..more of a technical type day hitting all the major obstacles in the Glasshouse area.. Great riding MickD and Matt H.

mickd · 09-18-2011, 12:24 AM

well what a ride

that was none stop knarlie

i would say that was a grade 4+ we found some new knarlie hills that looked

and after a good look up and down the show began,

well after a few "come on lets have a go at the hard section with the big step ups, we all did it,now dont get me wrong on a few occasions the word was said "look lets go around and do it another day" well if you know me i just have to give it a go

so well done boys that was brill

thanks for a brill ride and good company

Hi Pete/Mick.

Thanks for a great ride. Yes! the technical sections were unreal including big ledges, steep hills and steps... a Beta or Gas Gas would have been envious...just to make it.

Great navigation from Pete always returning us to the cafe in need of urgent powerades and cheesecakes.

Mick I do like your humor - no comments about the young girl riding up the hill with the 2 ledges on the lefthand line and I am sure Pete felt no pressure to ride it without a dab

Excellent ride, see you on the next one

Regards Mathew
