Thanks for letting me sneak in to the ride today at the last minute Mick and as always I appreciate you leading.
Mick, Matt, Matt, Chris, Ken and me.
It was great and conditions were really good although there was a little bit of dust creeping in. A good ride, everyone did well followed by a nice cold beer at the pub.
While the rest of us were having a beer Ken rushed home, bought his wife a birthday present, washed his bike and had the rear shock pulled out of it all by the time I got home. (you'd understand that comment if you were on the ride)
Can't wait for the next one.

MickKal, having lead his fair share of rides at Sawyers Valley was excited when he planned 92 kilometres of single track with ruts, sand, rocks and optional hills climbs. Overnight rain had made for perfect conditions, it was sure to be an awesome ride.

Thirteen riders turned up at the starting point, a mix of seasoned CQ’s regulars and some newbies all ready to hit the tracks that MickKal had been planning for weeks. MickKal lead the way and set a fast pace. The riders conquered the track with ease, Jacko bringing up the rear to make sure no one was left behind.

As the ride went on the riders became more in sync with each other, the conversation and laughter grew louder, traction was harder to find, rocks hurt more and fuel tanks were running on empty but there was smiles all round at the end of the ride having conquered the Sawyers Singles. All riders had a great time and the day was filled with awesome fun.

A handful that still had some stamina, celebrated their success with drinks at Sawyer's Tavern. Everyone was sore and exhausted, but they all agreed that the ride was amazing and well worth it.

Cheers to MickKal for a good one and Jacko for sweeping.

Thanks Mick for an awesome lead, Jacko for sweeping and everyone else for a great ride (and Jack for a rumoured ride report). I had a great day 99.7k's on my speedo and a good few litres left in the tank, excellent conditions and finish with a pint.

Tommy

Thanks for the ride today Mickkal excellent as usual with a good crew
and always feel safe knowing Jackos got your back with sweeping duties

Pounce

Thanks Mick & others, the bike got progressively worse on the way back to the point it embarrassed me in front of the 4WD bros. The had most of the powerlines blocked so as I went around them over a rocky bit, the power died so I nearly went over the bars then she fired up & nearly spat me off. I didn't look to see who was laughing.
Maybe Sawyers is jinxed for me now?

MickKal

See you guys in the morning, hopefully we got enough rain to keep the dust down.

MickKal

Ride is closed now thanks.
