Hey all,
Todays ride turned from 4 hills and a footlong to 2 hills and a breakdown.
Unfortunately, Mick broke a clutch cable (for those out there on European bikes, it is a cable that runs from the clutch lever to the actual clutch) :blink:
Anyway, the new to the game, Mick, took on almost all the challenges. :woohoo: :woohoo:Started on time.
Did most of our singles out to the start of “Amazon”
We now start this hill from the true base, which has a couple of tricky bits to warm up on.
:whistle:
Stage 1 was done with no help between the crew. (Tim cruised the high line, neatly)
Stage 2 was more fun, but I think we all got through unassisted.
Stage 3, well, it is the crux. :woohoo:
Tim had a few goes at the extreme, RH variant, but no luck this time. :pinch:
I rode up the easier far left line. :silly: :blink:
Then proceeded to take pics of the boys. :woohoo:
Tim did the RH version and Mick did the LH version with a little help from Tim (No slings were brought out though, much to Micks cedit.
Gotta send this damn message before it deletes itself. I am not the fastest typer.
Carry on later
Cheerio
MurphBack again. :pinch:
Continued up this Iconic hill. :woohoo:
A huge tree had fallen not long after the slab but a new line has been made to the right, which means someone else is doing this hill. :silly: :silly: :silly:
“Cruized” :whistle: to the top.
Travelled 5kms of boring, but welcome dirt road. :blush:
Rode down to Boarding house dam, Tim had a swimand I dunked my head in what was freezing water. 👿
Met (spelling) Looselink and a huge crew coming back out of the dam.
Good to put names to some faces. :whistle:
Crossed over to the very long trail to the start of “Slippery Rock”
Only one tricky log section before the start of the up hill.
Tim and I cruized this hill and Mick was not too far behind.
:woohoo:
OPen stuff, again good for a rest, then back into some singles and down to the bottom of the valley we now call “Congo” :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: 👿
Tim and I made it over the logs, through the creek and up the other bank, getting keen for what was to come. :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
Unfurtately, Mick had broken his clutch cable.
Could not of happened in a worse spot. :angry: :ohmy:
Anayway we got the HONDA going with a bit of bush mechanics (vice grips hanging on to the cable, hanging below the clutch lever)
TBCShit sometimes happens. :pinch:
So even though Tim and I were keen to crack the “Congo” hill we decided to escort Mick home the easy way.
On arriving home, I had 100.9kms on the trip.
Never got a phone call from Mick after we parted at Wangi Rd, so I guess he got home alright. :unsure: :whistle:
Shame we didn’t finish what we had set out to do. But alls good that ends good.
A whole lot of pics to come
A whole lotta love
Cheers

Maybe next time
2 hills and a breakdown.
Mick is home safe and well. I hope.
We left, as said at the top of Wangi Hill
