Ride report Gympie 23.5.2021

Solid group of Bushrangers arrived at Victory Heights MTB tracks to steal the gold from Gympie or at least put a Golden smile on their faces, with serious pre ride discussion about it all being about the “Vibe “

The gang split in search of the elusive best corner, fastest line through a creek crossing & latest possible braking technique… A range of flat and bermed corners tested tyre lean angles, Log and jump features keeping everyone suitably challenged. With 25+ km ridden Gympie has more corners per Km2 than most tracks ever dream off.

The black and blue jumps tracks received a work out with Chad showing how it should be done in style .. Pump track attempted with various outcomes.

Skills area has some great features especially the elbow shaped log ride eluding us all only to be showed up by a young local lad. Great to see so many people young an older enjoying the well-maintained tracks… Thanks to the people who brush cut track sides the day before 😊 much appreciated.

Highlights:

Donna Sessioned “Wreck it Rod“ thrice.

Trusty Crusty “Rusty” the Non E-bike was let out by Kerrie, nice riding.

Errol had 90% Battery remaining. We think he takes the battery out and pretends he has an E bike😊

Paul the master of the Manual only came for the Coffee😊 and to pat the dog.

Chad saves his tyres by flying most of the time…

Everyone else enjoyed doing it in the dirt….

The Vibe was maintained and cultured at Soma Soma Café with a myriad of wonderful food and beverages…..Coffee drinkers with a mountain biking problem.. Thanks Gympie you have a great back yard..
