    Another great day for a ride
    So thats what we did. :woohoo:
    Only Dr Nick, Mal, Tim and I so the day flowed well.
    Our new gully track proved to be testing and Mal and I had trouble at the next step up in our old single.
    We did all of our singles out to Awaba then more on the way to the first hill, Amazon.
    With only four riders we were up at the top before we knew it. :sick: :woohoo:
    Transport section to Slippery Rock which had a lot of lantana at the begining. :angry:
    This hill is another long one with a few tests amonst it. Not as hard as Amazon but still good fun. :woohoo:
    With hill 2 done it was on through some singles and down into Congo valley.
    Dodging deep puddles we arrived at the creek which was a little too deep at the log crossing so we opted for a crossing just down stream with a steep bank on the opposite side.
    Now at the base of hill 3 there was only one thing to do.
    Ride up it. :woohoo: :sick: 👿
    We chipped away at it, doing section by section and after a couple of incidents we all topped out.
    From there we headed for Freemans for some fuel and a footlong Subway.
    The afternoon was spent doing hill 4, Razorback.
    I had trouble at the same spot I usually do, I have only cleaned that section a couple of times and it seems to phsyc me out nearly every time. :blush: :pinch:
    K9 in reverse then more singles back through Awaba then a beeline back home.
    Thanks Dr Nick and Mal for making it an enjoyable day.
    Almost 80kms Saturday and 120kms Sunday made for a great weekend. :woohoo: :woohoo:
    More pics to come
    Cheers

    Cheers to Murph and Tim for leading a great ride, you have an awsome ‘backyard’, thanks for showing us around, cant wait to do it again!

    I think that with Mal included we all had a real blast, excellent pace and good company.

    And how about the weather,…. do you allways order that in for your rides?.

    Thanks again,

    Nick :)

    Yes they did, and the pencil is fine thanks :P

    Looks like I bailed at the right time actually :) These guys just seem to romp over this stuff and still have enough energy left to get back down the track to give a hand. Saw some really great riding on Saturday.

    Have a secret weapon for the next one though. Im prone to cramping and found out that low magnesium absorbsion and cramping has been an issue for 2 generations of squiggles . Now they tell me … sheesh

    Cant wait to see if the new happy pills solve the problem, then all I have to do is figure out how to stay upright. God I love getting old, so much fun
