Hograost 2009 - my write up

Few pictures from the Hogroast weekend:

Don't know everyones site names so you'll have to add them yourselves..


There would definately be some 'tanked' up people in the next 48 hours..









Jon and Proff were sharing a drop of Pussers....when a ghostly figure appeared in the window!




Turned out to be none other then the Bakerman himself




Flip provided great entertainment, for hours, and hours, and hours........








Next morning the rideouts departed.




I rode as sweeper on Steptoe's Novice Off Road (Thanks to Neil and Jon for leading their repective groups).




It was nice and steady at first so that the guys and girls on the big stuff got some confidence up




Then we found a few small climbs to test out that new found confidence..a few went over here.. But no injuries thankfully.














Then we hit some much bigger climbs, this time with no mishaps. The guys were getting good instuction and more importantly, putting it into practice.























A nice steady ride on some of the graded roads saw us off the Plains and back to the Hograost site. That beer and food was calling..

















Lets get this party started!!!




















Went off with Bakerman to fetch THIS!!






Great sign in Steve's shop.....




Att....the Firestarter..!






Last image I remember before the sandman found me..





Thanks to Steve and family and everbody else who made it a great event.

I can't get to Ben's Memorial but I'm sure he would have had a ball at the Hograost this year..RIP mate.

Excellent pics I didnt realise you'd got so many!

I did chuckle when this one was taken, I watched as Steptoe when putt... putt... putt up that hill, he was the only one of us with the presence of mind to work out where the camera was and remember to smile on the way past excellent mate

thanks for playing sweeper, I needed soemone back there as I seemed to keep loosing them, but then I did say I was rubbish at looking behind on the 450

great shots just goes to show what you CAN do with tourance! I even had a guy (sorry I'm rubbish with names) in the mornings and the night ride group on pure road tires and he was happy as larry - anything possible if you're willing to give it a go!
