pines 2011 aftermath

great day out in the pines!

nice to see you all and a big shout to mat for acting as flight command .

ideal weather too. some of my photos came up less than good, especially 'action' shots. im getting there though and, went home with a fairly clean bike with, a fine layer of dust, that's all.




some nice kit on show....








mat leads the charge into the wilderness....



followed by some happy souls!




chrisv40 pops a wheelie!



typical forrest blast and odd fire-road climb.







quick break and chat.



chat about what?

FOOD!




large collection of retroBIKES at the lunch stop.




well done vern for the BOTR title. old machinery is what it's all about.

thanks.marc.

Four more for the album.

First I'd like to say a BIG thanks to all the organizers for a fantastic day out

It was worth the traveling/early start and even sitting in the back of Elpedo's dustbin for four hours

As always the standard of old bikes was superb and a bit of a surprise for me to win BOTR :shock:

Heres some pics and a link the the rest Here


Need for speed

cheers kaya

Thoroughly enjoyed the ride and some nice shots up there, even the wife likes some of me

I told her I was showing the little kids how to ride the jumps

Got a bit knackered by the end, need to get fitter been putting on weight damn Wii Fit and it weight tracking..

Also got the bike rebuilt in time and nice to be back out on the Altitude again, still rides better than the others and with the shorter forks it was just like the old days and the old MAGs tracked fine and dandy through the twisty turny bits.


Anyone got a list of who turned up (pref with some pics as I've forgotten some of you already )

15/16 total wasn't it ?

Ok, Here goes, missing three people though, but that's just based on who hasn't posted post ride and not who was most memorable. Sorry to the three I haven't clocked.
