Well we just got back from a top ride out the back of my place , after over 2 inches of rain yesterday I knew it would be muddy but what we got was a Bogfest !!!
The riders were Rob400 , Dupsyam4 , phelix and myself and we were all ready to ride by 1.00. The singletrack I have leaving my place had Rob laying it down and DY4 (spud) whooping at the top of the hill. We rode across the ridgeline and dropped down into the gullies , and then the fun started !!!
We came to a small drain that is normally a trickle , it was at least a foot deep !! The next section is normally a muddy rutted section to navigate but it was now a lake. Spud went left and Phelix went right. After seeing Phelix’s Wr450 go seat deep I went with spuds option and we all got through ok.
The next challenge was a bridge that had completely washed away so we made a new single track around it an Rob found a good spot to re-enter the trail. The bogs came thick and fast with plenty of moments on the slick clay.
Once we got over to the second section of this ride I decided to see if Spud was up for riding it in reverse. I have only done it once and their is a top singletrack that I have never ridden in that direction and none of it disappointed , creeks , bogs logs and fast sections kept coming and everyone was grinning ear to ear at the end. !
The ride home went quickly and spud and I shared the lead with Phelix and Rob close behind. I was following spud along a section I know very well and for some reason came into a 90 degree corner in 4th gear , their is a huge bog on the inside and I cross rutted and ended up in the middle of it much to Rob and Phelix’s delight as the laugh ( a bit too much
) at me laying in the swamp water. The last section I led and we turned it up a bit , it’s a good fast twin track that leads onto my place where we take a couple of singles and a rocky downhill to my shed.
Beers where drank as bikes were loaded and we laughed at a ride full of big moments, front end wash outs and two wheel drifts on the slick trails !!
For a ride that didn’t look like it was going to happen yesterday due to torrential rain I had an absolute ball.
Thanks to Spud for leading a lot of the sections and Phelix and Rob for making the effort to come and get muddy !!!
Google cam footage to come !!
