    Well, wet wet wet was the only way to decribe it. :dry:
    Great day out. Found some more sick hills, three of which we couldn’t get up. :sick:
    Will try two of them again in the dry but the Powerline track we will leave alone as it just seems to dissapear the closer we got to the top. :angry: ;) :silly:
    Slave cylinder died on the 525 so we had to limp home on the tar. :ohmy: :angry: :(
    Can’t wait for the next outing up that way.
    Some pics to come
    Cheers

    I recognise the power line to no-where track, I have done that one before.

    Hey Boony. We usually get out of our rides without any damage. Tims bike came home in good shape but mine suffered loss of fluid in the hydraulic clutch, which meant I had no clutch for the ride home. :ohmy: Will be checking the slave cylinder today. Dude has just had the same problem a few weeks back so I will ask him how he fixed the problem. Have only ever had air in the system once before but this seems like the slave cylinder is shot this time. :(

    Jeffro did that Powerline track ever top out??? I bet its a bastard of a job to get in there and keep the tree line down under the wires. :sick: Too steep for machines so I’m guessing it would be a few blokes with chainsaws. :sick: :sick:
    Cheers
