    Thanks to Adam, Gordo and Ian for a fun run around the southern end of the Watto’s
    The day was warm and a bit dusty but enjoyable.
    If I can remember how to use photobucket I will post a few pictures
    Cheers

    Funny stuff there Murph :laugh: :laugh:

    I didn’t see that vine, next I know wtf and I’m getting dragged off :ohmy: head first down the bank with a flip and double pike :whistle:

    It wasn’t too bad first up but lack of riding took it’s toll.

    Bring on some rain and cooler weather :woohoo:

    Thanks Gordo for posting and Ian and Murph for an enjoyable day ;)

    PS there will be another over Easter, it always rains at Easter :woohoo:

    Adam.

    Thanks Ian And Murph for coming along on Sat. B) The weather started out humid and warm due to a heavy mist. After that as the temp rose the humidity dropped … abit. :pinch: ideal to weight and energy loss.
    A thanks as always to Adam the resident tour guide.

    We headed south from Dooralong headed going up the steel ramp ( the hackers have made a mess there and chewed out the dirt and stone between the boulders.)
    After a good ride out and 2 1/2 litres of water we reached the pines.

    Some had something to eat and others forgot to bring and food…. must be old age.

    Adam said he felt good at the break… but Ian was cramping in the hip and thighs, Murph was OK, and I was drowning is a sea of sweat. This was not helped by the fact the electric starter failed to engage from the car park…and the bike didn’t want to start warm.. :sick: :sick: But the boys did offer and indeed assist in kicking my stead into life :woohoo:
    A rest in shade at the Pines and then back to the bike heading for home.
    A good ride back in minor issues had by all, the heat had done its work.

    Left at 8am returned to dooralong at 1.30-2pm All good on Sunday ..

    Note: Its a starter motor issue :pinch: not a battery issue of course. F##K
    Rarely the cheap option.

    Thanks again boys its more fun with a few more blokes and as Adam said we will be having the next ride over Easter in the Watties (unless something better comes along) and it will be listed on old bulls,

    Cheers G Mac

    Yes Damo that’s the spot.

    You can ride it successfully a dozen times ;) then every now and then it’ll catch you out :whistle:

    As Gordon discovered :laugh: :laugh:

    Ian can ride up it :) He just has problems coming down it :whistle: :pinch: :laugh:

    We need some rain, it was great for me out front however the boys copped it a bit down the back :(

    Adam.
