Some of our ride from the weekend trip.

Benj and Ethan swapped bikes, Ethan not having ridden a dually before and Benj (wearing the camera) wanting a refresher on what a hardtail was like. This is part of the result:

Looks like the perfect way to crack a collar bone. It's bad when those trees just out at you Eye-wink

Yes I have a nice cherry on the right shoulder, courtesy of the drop off which hid behind one of those trees. Straighten to take it and collected the pine tree very nicely. Nice bruise to show the family.

Fantastic track, fastest single track anywhere.

Yeh, I've got a couple of blackening spot bruises on my leg and shin from landing on those pesky rocks from that washout at Kowen on the berm on Saturday night. I was thinking just before then that I might have been better off without the light - with the bright, narrow Ayup beam just on the bars I just didn't see that tree root or whatever it was that triggered the slide.

Benj was hooting and yodelling all morning ... the nickname "George of The Jungle" might be a good fit! Laughing out loud

Will post some more footage of the youngsters later in the week - they were flying.
