    Well the day started perfect with blue skies
    With only three of us it was hard to get some pics but we did manage to get a few
    I was definately the weekest link and I felt almost embarressed to pull up next to Tim and Eric and see them with their goggles off having a chat at the end of each section. :blush:
    We did do some great stuff though and now have a little more knowledge of the area
    Again, appoligies for not getting more pics but thats just how it was.
    If I can get around to 2 Bangers place soon, I will get some good ones of me flipping the 5 hungey in a steep little ravine. :blush: :blush: :blush: :woohoo:
    We came across one young bloke on a Husky 360 who had just drowned his bike after 10 minutes of riding. He and his mate had no tools so we offered assistance by taking out his plug and standing the bike on end to empty it. We left him in the end knowing it wasn’t too far for him to push it back to the cars.
    Also sorry for leaving Tim and Eric at the end of the day.
    I was on a beeline back home and thought the other two were going to do a few more singles.
    Turns out Eric got a flat. Tim had a spare tube but the levers and pump were in my backpack. ;)
    Tim later told me that they changed the tube using shifters and screw drivers and Eric new a mate that lived close by so he rode Tims bike to aquire a pump.
    All ended good but it was a lesson in keeping together and making sure we all carry enough gear to keep out of trouble. :whistle:
    Some pics to follow
    Cheers

    Not sure if the steam was coming out of me or the bike. Very dissapointed that the thermo fan did not cut in. Will have to investegate.
