Thanks to Tim Rowe

What can I say but – - YAY!!! -  – Ok I sound a little excited but hey a 4 day weekend to anyone in any books is pretty good ay?Well I can say I got up to some great riding, and spent some quality time with some fantastic mates!I Headed up to Mt Beauty Saturday afternoon with good mate GROVER. (AKA Super Grover), we had some sweet tunes pumping in the car for the whole trip. We both stayed the night at the Vany's farm. Thanks Jenny and Jerry. I was racing the 6hr Mt Beauty Enduro with mate Neil Vandy who from all accounts had been smashing himself in Albury the previous day with Torys Tim which sounded like a really fast and well run race by both of the boys. Naturally Neil was a little tired on Sunday and so we both entered the race to have some fun and smash some laps out. Felt City and Felt Country were always going to be in a league of their own out on the course. These guys are all basically flying, with no sign of slowing any time soon. No matter as I started the race and was able to get team OZRIDERS.COM.AU a very respectable start on the first lap. The day was quite humid and tested all riders participating. The course was surprisingly flat(ISH) and alota fun - gotta remember you are racing at Mt Beauty here… The laps seemed to reel off really quickly because it felt like as I was about to sit down I was up again…I needed to leave directly from the race site straight after the race and head home. So it was back into the car with GROVER and I would like to say the conversation on the way home was quite fun. John (Grover) loves his bikes and is always up for a bit of a debate. So after a quick dinner at Macca's on the way home it was cruise control at 110km/hr on the Hume Fwy we were debating everything from what is classified as a "Punter" to wheel builds and selection. – Well he kept me awake anyways as we were both pretty tired after such a big day.Monday brought a sweet trail ride with Rob Eva, Garron, Scotty Liston and Brad Lowe (Trents Bro.). We hit up Sassa. with a side of sting to suit. In the Arvo I held a nice BBQ at my place for some guys and Gals who are heading O.S this year with racing aspirations. The main point of the gathering was basically to have a final get together before everyone goes their separate ways for the new racing season.Well I can say it was a success – we all had a good time, had an awesome BBQ courteous of "DOT Maebus"  and I wish everyone – every success you the new season and hope to see them soon.

 Well I have to say – "Thats me!"

 I rode to and from work today and will probably keep doing it this week as the Petrol prices have just gone through the roof!

 Cheers and thanks for reading.
