Pounce called a ride for the guys starting to try the Adventure Riding as Perth still has had little rain.
4 others showed up at the allotted time & place, then it turned to shite. We had around 230klm's to get to Wiliams but the GPS route Pounce had worked out wouldn't load so he tried a different method.
Off we go then shite happens & he missed the first turn by half a kilometer.
Shite Pounce, you're leaking fuel! He has a look & the tap supplied by Safari tanks is leaking in the on position. He can't see without his glasses so he asks one of the other guys to switch it to reserve. All good, no leaks. We're off again until just before the corner we should have taken earlier his bike stops. Shite! The fuel was turned off, not put on reserve.
We're making OK progress when his GPS has a hissy fit & turns itself off. This goes on all day too so his GPS is next to useless. Shite. As he has no idea now, Allen takes over & does a brilliant job leading, actually following the route worked out. Down over the powerlines, out through the back of Metro Rd passing some familiar tracks & trails until we get to farmland.
Bastard farmers have snavelled all the good land to feed us so it's a series of dirt & tar roads down into Williams.
After a beer, burger & delayed fish & chips (shite) we can't work out a quick way home as it's already 1.30, so we do a 60klm run (shite) up the main hwy to Nth Bannister then onto Metro Rd again. We're heading North for a fair bit with Tommy out in front when Pounce pulls Tommy up. Tommy says he's heading up to Brookton Hwy but is a bit worried about numpty bogans on mx bikes & quads shooting out from no where. While we're discussing this, guess what comes screaming around the corner! Shite.
We decide to shoot back the way we came in the morning as the track is just over there. We're making good time heading for a well deserved beer but somehow end up on Albany hwy near the Jarradale turnoff, not Brookton Hwy near the pub! Shite.
A quick squirt up the hwy, onto Ashendon Rd then we're back in time for the Shimpy.
