    as the other fellas have reported after we headed to the gap for a meal break where diddel consumed a 3rd of his body weight in hamburgers and chipps we headed out towards wakefield and did some great singles. there were no photos of this section as we were all racing through.

    we then headed down a very steep loose hill which dan mentioned and then had a go at a very steep loose hill. every one took at least 2 goes but we all made it up after some swearing and sweating at the bottom. I made it up first and managed to get the camera out in time to get some pics.
    the hill in question was like a bill goat track which went for a fair while

    after this hill dan left for family duties and the boys were keen to keep going for a couple of hours so i lead over to the sehampton side. minutes after taking the lead i rode through a swarm of wild insects. one black scary looking wasp type mother flew into my helmet and got caught between my goggles and helmet on my cheek.
    the fn thing started biting me so i tried to pull up quick and rip my helmet off but couldnt get it off quick with my gloves still on. all the other boys must have thought i was losing the plot.
    this is what the bug looked like close up when riding t 80 km/h

    i recovered from the great beast and lead on.riding fire trail over to tunnels side. we lost Moto and tryhard for a while and later moto told us he had a similar experience with a wild bug and stacking it at 50km/h sliding down the road. when he pulled the bug out it looked something like this

    we then did a hill- moto

    we then did some more nice singles with some good littl rocky climbs thrown in and before running out of fuel headed back towards the car.
    when we rode up sugar loaf hill to head back towards the car we came across this wild dog
    P1010571Medium.jpg
    moto tried his dog whispering skills on the dog and it looked pretty skinny and hungry. when moto approached the dog igt growled and barked at him

    as Moto approached the dog he took of his helmet and said ” if this dog attacks me make sure you guys help out.
    Poor dog all he could see when Moto was approaching him

    we then tried to feed it a muesli bar but it ran off not wanting to be molested by Moto

    Well I had planned to give this ride a miss as it was starting at 7.30 sharp,I had nothing ready,had to be in Oakville by 5pm & was still ready otb meeting point at 10pm.As it turned out I woke at 4.30 am & the wife kicks me out of bed ;) So waking up the neighbours I load up, google the meeting point & head off.
    Moto was the first to arrive,I have to admit he doesn’t look like his avitar! :P . Not long after everyone turns up & away we go.Lots of singles,open track etc.We were going along at a good pace ,I was behind Moto when he just let go of the bars :huh: & starts to take his helmet off while we are still doing around 50kph :ohmy: It must be a pommy thing me thinks….Next thing he is draging down the road in front of me still trying to remove his helmet.I swerved to avoid hitting him & pulled over to find moto holding what was left of a dragon fly :laugh:.It was a great ride & I wish I had more time as I would have done the afternoon ride as well.Thanks for putting it on guys

    What’s really impressed me is how my number plate is present in this picture. Normally this wouldn’t be exciting but seeing as it wasn’t there at the start of the ride I find it quite impressive!!

    You lost the plot decades ago :laugh:.

    Another funny event from this ride involving moto’s antics;
    He lent me the tom tom for sunday, I asked whether he would need it to get home semi sarcastically but he brushed it off.
    He left before me and I passed me on the way out going the wrong way :laugh:.
