1200 spits dirt

[Rose]

Fair enough - then that's another point we have to address when we instruct the groups at the start of the ride-out (especially when we have participants from the continent who are not aware how sensitive the issue is over here).

In "the continents" defence we where one of the last ones to get on the hill, so we had no idea we where supposed to do something different...

Sorry for causing any trouble Gary, we sure hope to go riding there more often... We know how closing down roads and tracks works, as most parts of Belgium and Holland are allready closed...

Here's some more GSpictures from that day:

Our red submarine:

Three adventures in a row:

One needing a little hand to get out:

It's good to have some helpers around, when ploughing 230 kilo's through te mud:

Better grip IN the tracks but, then the tracks have to be wide enough

So back to the middle it is....

Dakar Gal allways having a good time:

Some don't need a hand at all...

As well as the X;

Lonely rider (when you forget about the crwod standing behind me)

Good pose:

Grassy lanes:

Easy going....

But also very easy to loose a few parts if you drop:

Some forrest for a change:

I'm not sure if he was laughing or concentrating:

Putting away some loose parts (remembers me of my Dakar days )

Another great obstacle:

Can't we go around??

Again nice to have some helpers around

Although some try to outrun their helpers...

That's it for the "dry" pictures... Next will be the Strata Florida...

Rose i was not pointing the finger at Crazyivan....
Cuz the hills covered in roost marks and he's not responsible for them

It was just the best picture i could see to show
what not to do...

There must have been a few UK guys there that knew
what they were doing was well out of order

I bet if someone went on their local run and rode so irresponsibly they would soon have a moan

There are pleanty of people who would like to see tracks closed indeffenatly
and this sort of behavior is playing right into their hands

Might be a good idea to restrict the pictures of people roosting up a hill spraying mud every where to private land / enduro courses as the antis will doubtless search sites like this for photos to use against us.

Sounds like I'm trying to spoil your fun I know but thats got to be better than the govt/ Ramblers assoc spoiling everyones fun. Most off road web sites / magazines a pretty careful as to what pictures they publish.

I think we all believed we were on a legitimate track, often when out on infrequently used routes it's difficult to spot the right route.

It's only in the light of this thread we realised out error.
