Ride Report: Wet As!
Players: Andy400, CRF Andrew, Jacko, Sconsen, WR Rob.
Date: 25th April 2016
Crf Andrew called a Monday ride as it was a public holiday – lest we forget. Seven in total with two (at this stage non-crusties) out for a blat. We have had some rain and more promised and delivered today.
About 4ks out Andrew pulls up and we wait to regroup but no bikes to be heard. Back track a bit and find the others with Mat taking an early tumble in the slippery conditions. A slow speed fall but the foot went out and to a good whack. Sharp pain and the decision is made to return to the cars as a group. Latest news on Mat is he has a break in his foot and was spending the night in hospital – get well soon Mat.
Back out on the tracks and with some extra guidance from Jacko sweeping, Andrew leads us to some nice deep gullies for some fun. Wr Rob and Sconsen taking many a deep slippery rutted extra run.

We make our way to some tight single trails along a whooped out rollystone track. My back starts to play up again so I depart near entry to the loop and tangle with some other parties out enjoying the new seasonal rains. Pack up and just as the last tie down is on and secure the heavens open and it lasts a good ½ hour. The other still out there would have been drenched. Even the road trip back down to the servo in Muchea was a bit of an adventure with water gushing and a couple of aqua plane moments.
Altogether a great day out. Many thank to CRF Andew for the call and Jacko the sweep – Andy400.

The follow on report after Andy departed us.
We pulled up for quick break after approx 30 km . Time to clean the goggles have a snack and a drink .
As we were heading to the hills and about to head down a whooped out section,Andy decides to call it a day.
We head off and shortly after it pisses down for about 30min. We arrive at the big hill and stop at the bottom. Rob makes it look easy getting up first go Sconsan heads off makes 3/4 of the way up ,stops briefly decides he ain't going back down and pushes on and make sit up. I head off and get up ok. Seemed a lot of traction on the hill.
We have a slight break at the top and then head off through the usual hills. Then back tithe cars where it is pissing down again.
It was a good ride but a bit sad when ya mate breaks his foot.
