Bollocks is back

Despite Tamworth being dust dry and getting no rain, the Nundle forest got an inch last night so after a delayed start while Boll went to his Saturday morning Yoga class, Damus Bols and I headed for the hills to reaquint Bollocks with riding and see id his mystery bag bike would make it of the trailer.

We were met with supreme riding conditions despite getting on the bikes at 11 am. No dust, not much mud and sweet singles to ride. In fact we even cut in another new trail just for the sake of it, not long but quality pine single.

We stuck pretty much to the pines where the temperature was very comfortable and the riding sweet. Bolls never missed a beat and apart from having just one get off (unlike the normal get off every 100m) it was like he had never been away. More remarkable still the Otto bin he calls a bike was faultless, no oil leak no thunder of disintegrating motor bits and not even a cloud of smoke pouring out the side.

Nundle could do with another 600 mm of rain to get things back to normal but today it was nice to be back to riding without the dust clouds that have been everpresent this summer. If we get more rain the only thing we will need is to put on rear tyres with at least someknobs on them, Nundle is always good at reminding you that slicks have no place when the red dirt gets wet.

Thanks to damus for sweeping as usual.
