    Well, five riders met up as planned, and the first thing was to decide whether to gear up or not, due to the light drizzle falling at the time and the unfavourable weather forecast. :(

    After debating the topic for several minutes it was decided to hit the trails and cut the ride short if it got heavy. No sooner had we headed off and the drizzle stopped. It returned from time to time throughout the morning but not enough to be a nuisance.

    You missed a good ride Jeffro, you Fair Weather Biker! :laugh:

    Jonesa lead for most of the ride, being the one with the local knowledge. Young Hamish90 hadn’t had much wet trail experience, becoming more intimate with some of the bog holes early in the ride, but he soon learnt the do’s and the don’ts. His snotty rocky hill climbing skills also improved throughout the day.

    A good day out thanks Jonesa. Here are some pics

    Glad you boys had a good day out.

    I was planning on riding out and back rather than trailer it. The idea of riding there and back in the rain didn’t appeal, especially with a per-employment medical coming up on Tuesday.

    Yeh, HuskyBloke, the boys in blue told us of the two kids they caught on unregistered bikes on the tar. Let them off with a warning apparently. The cops were actually nice blokes and hung around for a while for a chat (while we finished off our beers). The tricky bit was to take a photo of them without them realising. I think I got away with it.
    btw I like your name of the place. Three Rs is dead right.

    Hey Wally Boy – long time no see. Will have to meet up on the trails soon.
