Barcs Sailors falls Saturday Sep 16

Post by riles »

I’ll let the crew chime in and give detail as well as my 2c. ..
Barc, what a terrific loop you gave us. I could see the grooming and track prep everywhere and it was much appreciated. I had such a good day. Perfect conditions and 10 capable riders. Cobraone thanks for sharing the sweep and general help and good banter
we raced a bit on the way home and everyone of us gave it a good fun squirt, I could tell by the elbows up and chin up and lots of blue smoke and revs.
We had a small mechanical hold up midday when a fuel filter on a 300 fuel line broke but luckily a length of fuel line came out of a back pack and got it going in a few minutes.
Kmatts and I had under 150cc bikes and we came to the conclusion that as long as you rev them and change gear a lot they are lots of fun.
A bit of a feed of cheese and biscuits afterwards with Marko and Brian telling us how good they rode.
Thanks again to the barc and locals who put a lot of effort and time into preparing this track and ride.

Thanks to Barc for posting this ride. This is well worth getting on if you ever get the chance. Thanks to Riles and Cobraone for sweeping up our mess. Thanks to the contributor of the post ride eat fest. Like stated above, a great mix of trails that had the lot, and somehow managed to navigate through the storm damage from a couple of years ago very well. Great bunch, great track, great weather, tell me what more you could ask for. Thanks everyone for a great day.

What a day! Had a super fun time showing a great crew around West Wombat forest. 75kms and finished 2:30, earlier than usual. Thankyou to all that came along. Great bunch of guys who rode extremely well. Conditions had dried out quite a bit in the last couple of weeks, which made for a less slippery ride, but still slippery enough in some spots. Thanks to Cobraone and Riles for sweeping..excellent work. Also thanks to all for the feast afterwards, was much appreciated. Shoutout to@Disco for his trackwork on pumphouse, good stuff mate. Look forward to the next one.

barclay and myself ride a lot and done this loop a bit but im still in awe at the work he has put into loop,fantastic job of leading your 1st big group mate.and what a group.you wouldnt think you could get 10 blokes together and they all be top blokes and very capable riders ,but we managed to.i hope there was enough for all to go home with a smile.thanks to riles and i think it was tom(so sorry if it wasnt)for helping me with sweeping ,it was a pretty easy job with this group.gotta say thank you so much for the after ride snacks and drinks,very much appreciated.so good to meet so many i havent rode with before but hope to again soon.thanks for coming along guys.cheers.

I am no sailor, but when I saw the ride name pop up,, 'Sailors Falls', I new I had to jump on this ride and so glad I did.
A great mix of everything with a great ride crew.
A big thanks to Barcs for putting it on and everyone else involved for making an enjoyable day out.
