I've watched it several times, and I'm still 100% confident I couldn't do it!

Part of the Ariel MCC flinders ranges ride last year was through a steep gorge hopping rocks just like that, at least 10+kms of it and no way out except forward or walk out, the station owner who took us through it said it was an easy day so I didnt take the helmet cam.

This photo is typical and this was the easy part :roll:

Later on we found out one of our club members said the previous days ride wasnt hard enough to the owner, suffice to say he isn't welcome this year :lol:


Sooo who wants to do the Flinders ranges ride later in the year? :lol:
