I'm no good at reports but it was fun. 5 of us. Kind of nice doing some faster riding then the slower stuff.
80km ride. 9am-2pm
My first time to Nesbit. No crashes
Even the KLR was good at being a motorcrosser untill he got tired of the heavy bike
Didn't get any pics really
The steep hill was fun. BY MY SELF!
I want the vids of me coming up that whoever got some. I don't have any vid really of me on this new bike
Put it on a cdr for me and I'll grab it
Just going through my vid. Some spills on it
Somone can add to this report

Great ride! Thanks Kiffer for showing us those trails in that part of Nisbet. And hats off to scramble for getting that giant KLR through some of those nasty bits. For the most part, you wouldn't even know that he was riding a bike that weighed 150lbs more than everyone else's bike given how fast he was going I have a bunch of video to go through and I'll try to put some up soon. My battery was dead for some of those fun mud holes unfortunately... and also for your hill climb calltrex. Maybe kiffer has it on his cam.

I haven't gone through my video yet, but I was recording the (expected) carnage on the river hill. I'll get it to you - stall and all. (I'm one to laugh - I wussed out on that hill on Sunday, and every time I've tried it I've stalled too!) T'was a great ride, guys. I had a blast, and the 3 foot deep water holes were pretty cool too, right Scramble?

Here's a few shots from Sunday's ride to tide you over until I can get some video up... Scramble having some fun at the unload point. Calltrex ready to go. JP & Jordan get ready. Calltrex decided to get off the soupy trail and try the river hill. Stalled out coming back up the hill. Got it going again! The magic button is nice in these situations. Wish my XR had one. Ready to head out on the muddy trail. It was a tough climb over some massive exposed tree roots to get to the little bridge across the creek in this spot. A break on the trail waiting for the rest of us to cross the roots. It was a great time! Sorry I didn't take more photos but I was too busy having fun! I wanna ride that muddy trail again already!

Great looking ride guys, I can see why Scramble might have been a little tired keeping pace with the rest of the Holligans on the 400+ KLR
