14 people strong! A ride was organised by Tony/justified on the Bikes Move Us forums and 14 people rocked up, that5’s just awesome!
Some pics from today:
Nick’s dead sexy Cannondale Prophet.
Jarod’s bike, single speed? Hardcore! Especially considering that the gearing was a little heavy for the trail.
Andrew/JDMpulsar representing Specialized with his Hardrock.
I thought Jarod was hardcore until Rhy’s rocked up (haha), damn Glory. What a man/tank/beast/thing. He got up EVERYTHING too.
Kevin (left) and Tony (right) did great considering they’re both new to riding and it was their 1st time to the Dam too.
Timmy (left) and Clifton (right). Can’t deny that the young kids have learn something from the oldies as both of them are sporting duallies now!
Zi and Dave rocked up late (it’s becoming the norm now guys! Come on!) AND Zi had to change his tyres over too (I’m ‘lending’ him some Nevegals). Zi had another bad day on the bike, goes to show how a ready build bike (his old Giant Trance) was great in that it was all designed and set-up, ready to go but he’s in a world of set-up nightmares on his new Santa Cruz and he’s riding nowhere near as good as he was on his Trance. I had a little go at his bike at the end of the day and found the front fork way too sensitive to braking and too squishy too. I’m sure he’ll get there.
THE CREW!!! 14 riders united.
Totally missed the shot, but this is Rhy’s doing a steep roll to huck.
I was a bit paranoid pre-ride about my fitness level considering I’d been in Melbourne for a week doing nothing but eat and drink (even had 5 meals on one of the days!!!) but surprisingly I felt stronger than I’ve ever felt on the Dam. Maybe it was the excitement of riding in such a big group of people, or maybe it was just being back on the bike. One thing’s for sure. I’m feeling it!!! My legs are hurting tonight. That’s a good thing though, right?! :)
