ADVENTURE *****OUT WEST*****
What to expect? Where are we headed? What will we find out on those trails today?
Adventuring "High up into the Hills" on our "FIRST West Farming Station" for the morning, the group came across a very uncomfortable "LOCAL Resident" that had been trapped for quite some time between this fencing wire. Riders soon got to work on assisting and freeing the animal. Our wild deer had sustained quite a nasty wire cut on the hock.
"Our Adventure Ride Out West"
The widespread and publicised atrocious weather forecast for our planned Adventure on Saturday, still provided us with ONE very FANTASTIC morning. Unfortunately we had to cancel "ONE" of our featured and most gorgeous coastal properties. This Farm having won a "Prestigious Farming Award". WE managed to replace this with another property that had a large portion of metal tracks/trails running throughout which provided adequate grip for our larger adventure bikes in the event the skies would break lookse on us sooner than expected. Altering our Ride Terrain on Saturday, we will now host an adhoc ride in the future spring/summer months to "Show Case the Private Lands" of our Prestigious Farming Block. It was great to see so many "All Weather" Adventure Bike Riders coming out to play even though the forecast provided us with a most unfavourable outlook.

The day begins with a most gorgeous and fine morning, amidst the sad weather forecast due to descend upon us all. Jim reads out our mornings Ride Briefing Details before we commence for some Adventures.
Arriving at our FIRST West Farming Station for the morning. The gates are open and our Adventure Riders are OFF - Adventures AWAIT......
Joining Me in Group 2 for this Adventure "Heather" - Second time out and NEW to Adventure Bike Riding. "WEll done Heather". The two of us tackled some quite steep hill climbs and both pushed ourselves up the ladder on Saturday..... WE had a fantastic adventure and were quite proud of our achievements. One steepish and very corrugated hill offering took us both by surprise, "Surprise Met HEAD ON" "Keep the GAS ON was exercised well here",,,, "Ticked off and on to the Next Surprise",,,... "NEC Minute Steep and corrugated Decline".... "and over the bank we go", rolling these small machines DOWN Steep Banks is completely DO ABLE as we both discovered. Wow, what a workout, and what an adventure. Time for that drink I think!!!
Yes, tracks leading right across the valley. Amazing views from high atop these big hills. Adventure Bike riders can just be seen crossing the plains below.
For Heather and I, our adventures now kicked off to a second level. Accelerating quickly up one very corrugated hill we came to a sudden halt atop a pile of smooth rocks which had now become embedded underneath the back wheels of the small cc bikes. Time to clear out the pathways before descending once again.
Lunch at Helensville and we are headed out towards South Head to take in a further Adventure and coastal views. The weather is now on the turn.
Quote/unquote "THE LAST RIDERS STANDING" goes to Sue and Heather. Waiting at the forestry h q gates to tour Forest Tracks and Trails on our conclusion for our day, NO ONE showed to join in with us???
Whilst the remainder of our Adventure Ride Group departed for warmer home climes, Heather and I waited patiently for at least 30 mins at the gates to partake of more Adventures. WE were both very much looking forwards to concluding our day Forest Side rather than ending our journey via the sealed roadways. The rain was now so thick, my camera had decided enough was enough. So, sorry "NO LAST RIDERS STANDING PIC" could be taken. CLASSIC, and what a MISSED Opportunity!!!
