August 2020 Boneyards
Bushrangers Ride Report 16/8/2020
Bone Yards “Welcome to the Jungle”
Eagerly awaited and well attended Boneyards ride, a happy clan of Bushrangers set off from Ferny Forest car park, first challenge was to see who could lift their bike over their head…to get over the first obstacle, a team effort ensured E bikes weren’t left behind….
Sandy tracks became ridable from the night’s rainfall, crisscrossing fire roads and Moto tracks before arriving deep in the jungles of Bone Yards proper. Weird place with skeletal remains, grey bearded Mtbers riding in circles & muttering not knowing how to get out of the endless loops, back tracks, deep forest, bogs, and mountains. The lost world so close to civilisation… Tribal drums and peoples could be heard but never seen apart from a man in a purple suit…….
Concentration, skill, and leg burning effort ensured everyone completed the fantastic tracks, with something for all riders. A real gem of a place to ride with local knowledge being the key to getting the most out of the track directions. Get out and join your local club ride to experience the mystic and ADVENTURE.
No one was left behind despite several slomo downhill corner rolls from the birds of paradise…
The group held tight until the end with a late split up an insane hill before everyone meeting back up for a stiff brew at BrewHaha coffee for post ride jesting and trail lies.
25km and 530m elevation Choice as.
Thanks to everyone who survived…and then some.
