    Well after Rutts called the ride off due to TOO much rain and some of us not getting that text :whistle:
    I made a quick couple of calls at 6am and whooa I found a idiot ( sorry Luke ) just like me and was keen for a ride. As Luke pulls up he has 2 more keen riders behind him that didn’t get the ride cancelled text. Cool even better now there’s 4 mad people not just me :woohoo: A quick chat about are we riding as it had rain good all night and was still raining as we geared up.

    Some one said it should stop raining soon :whistle: so let go out for an hour and see what happens. Well 4hrs later we had an epic slip around the hills of gold with running streams down all the singles. The up sections were cool as we rode up the water running down em. Damus took us on some trail he made up on the spot, well I think it was Snowys new trial ;) Luke had some new stuff as well. By the end of it I had no idea where I was. I was the only goose to take a new line in the wet across the side of the dam and found out the hard way that it was not a better line :silly:

    All in all a good wet ride was had by all.

    Thanks boys

    Yep you summed it up well Boze. After receiving a call at 6 from Boze i figure why the hell not. The bike was on the ute and i had an approved leave pass. I was also sold a very convincing ‘it will be rain free from 8am onwards’. Turned out he was talking about 8am Tuesday. Anyway. No dust. Great trails and great blokes. The new singles of Snowy’s and Demas’s are tops. The wet ground helped the new trails get roughed up by a pair of 300s a nice new 500 and sweep who was now leading and by his exhaust note he was having fun. It wasnt a big ride but a good chance to get some ride time in less than perfect conditions. You can never over practice hitting wet branches and roots at speeds too quick for your abilities. By the end we were soaked, cold and buggered. Perfect. Cheers
