Supernova Sydney 2014

My lady informed me of an event called Supanova.

Sort of like Comicon on a smaller scale.

I'd never been to a nerdfest before, but it sounded interesting.

This young lady made a great effort at a Snow White Zombie.

Some people were more interested in their phones than promotion.

The best damn Deadpool in the whole place.

G'day Kyle.

Steve as Darth Maul and a baggy looking Jabba the Hut.

Chewbacca made a big entrance.

I'm not sure of the story behind this costume, but it was excellent.

Geez, toys everywhere.

Michele likes Minions.

This bloke Jason was very friendly.

Bumblebee made an appearance.

Armour to suit anyone.

A couple of aussie made Bat machines.

Monkey tried to make his staff bigger.

Wow. What a great thing to have in the loungeroom.

The Payday gang.

A cheeky Stormtrooper.

A curious Jawa.

Not a bad effort at Wolverine.

The black stag from Hannibal. With Will.

A great Shaun of the Dead.

Michele actually paid to have John Jarret strangle her.

This fellow was selling blue ice at a premium.

Geez. A comic fantasy come true.

Daenerys and her dragon.

Pikachu Warhammer crossover giving cuddles.

So many guns.

Mount Seaview to The Cells River

So after a big night, the crew got ready for The Cells.

Some of us were a bit dusty, but still keen.

Shane was to lead us in, and I was to provide backup with the GPS.

Here's Shane looking all spiffy after his relaxing night in the Resort Spa.

The boys line up

Tobins River

A bit of a wheelie from Ray

Ralfes Trail leads us into the Cells

Julian has an argument with the embankment

I'd hate to run into that on a greasy corner

The boys decided to test themselves on this little single trail

With various results

Shane turns it around

Quinney just props

Julian at speed

Blue Mountain Creek Trail

The start of the Cells

A steep greasy trail down

Plenty of creeks down here

And logs

Here comes Phil

Shane and Phil do recon

The Cells Hilton

The big greasy red hill

It stopped everyone

For over an hour we attempted to get all bikes up

Again and again

Some ventured into the bush

Others just watched and laughed

The 426 gave us some trouble

We met these blokes at the top of the range

Energy running low by this stage

It was cold and wet. My DR650 flattened the battery

After getting around that last deadfall tree, I could not start my bike on the button.

Ray and I sawed through the tree so I could get a rollstart.

Then it was follow the GPS out to the Oxly Highway.

We made it back to seaview with no incident, then I packed up and rode home.

It was a great weekend. Happy Birthday Pete.

Lets do it again next year.
