Cold, wet & homesick
Well it was a wet ride at least. Only the 3 of us; Pounce, Slates and myself.It was a relatively easy trail ride through some overgrown tracks around Harvey dam.The lead rider was saturated in the 1st few ks.And it hadn't even rained then.A couple of offs by the big 'S'.I am sure Pounce has that captured on camera.Sneaky, steep,greasy, rocky uphill caught him unaware.The KTM beast dislodged a rock half way up the ledge and bike and rider tumbled.Looked a bad fall but the landing was pretty good.Glad it was not me.
That was nearly the end of our gnarley muddy hill climbs.However the leader still threw in a couple more for god measure. Both of the young blokes started to get foggy vision from the misty rain,so the executive decision was made to bail to the cars and get a counter meal at the Wokky. We managed 37 ks all up ,but it was an enjoyable one.My first ride in 5 or 6 weeks. Turned out a wise move to bail ,because as we hit the Wokky, it pizzled down for 1/2 an hour. Thanks guys for the ride guys,looks like am good to go again. Pikey Big thanks to Pounce and Husky Mike for a frolic in the rain yesterday. Short and sweet but very enjoyable! Slates Cold, wet & homesick was a good call for yesterday. Pikey, Slates & me rocked up, on the bikes at 9 & soaked to the bone with full boots at 9.05 It was too soon after the rain as every tree, bush & branch just dropped it's water onto us on the narrow trails. I changed plan & did some more open trails, a few hills & lots of fun even though we cut it short at 40 k's as the light rain had started again & we couldn't see shit through the googles. Back to the cars, head to Woky for a beer & lunch & as we pull up a massive rain storm comes through, so happy we missed it. Still managed to find a couple of new bits again. Pounce   |
