Exploring Samsonvale 16/11/2013

I went out with the intention of just cruising around the place, and having a look at some climbs etc. The roads were a little rough with patchy and unkept bitumen. On the whole though it was a great morning to be out riding and just enjoying the experience without any real destination in mind.

Samford Pony Trails - just riding for the sake of it today.

Took off about 6.30am with no destination in mind. I was supposed to do a 100k road ride but couldn't muster the motivation to do it. All seemed a bit too hard. AND my Niner was beckoning me to ride...so the dirt it was.

Here's to the start

Niner waiting for the word "Go!"

Hmm, a long way to jump!

This is what it's all about people!

Entering Horse Poo Forest - take care.

This creek used to be full of water...

No matter how hard I tried, the Niner flat out refused to jump.

 Heading for another creek crossing

Horsey fun.

The trail continues.

After rain this part becomes almost unrideable sludge. 

Not at present though!

Bummer - I used to cross here. Maybe not today.

 Favourite coffee stop at Samford. Awesome food and drinks.

SCUNT is in there, waiting...

Cheaters way up Scunt. Not one I've ever taken.

Goodbye to the mountains until the morning...

The Wombat's Half Bunya Ride

Words to come...

Been slack - but here is some more photo's of my last adventures

Well, it's been a while, but I'll try to be a little more attentive to these posts. However, since I'm supposed to be getting ready for work, I'll throw in some recent pics and hope you like them!

In the middle of the night, what's one to do but....

A creepy place to be. Reminds me of those murderous clowns in all the horror movies...

Anyone seen a lost bird? Not likely to find him on this night ride!

Niner by Night.

Flooding over 27-28th January. Water everywhere!

The creeks were all flooded - so I'll dialled 'Niner'-One_One on my phone...

I spent most of this ride carrying the big beast across the water crossings. I didn't feel like paying the price for getting water in the forks, bearings etc. Massive fun though :-)
