You mean the water from the creek? I was fine. I actually drank it the next day as well without ill effects. The bloke (RipnShred) with the leech on his forehead was a crack up. I still have to go down to the Chemist and get some worm/parasite tablets… The 2 days I was there I scored leeches, a tick on my head and a scorpion in our tent. Who knows what’s in my guts right now….

I did get a bit of a head ache driving home. Could have been the water, could have been the heat & exhaustion, or maybe possibly the leech stuck on me forehead!!!!!

Thanks for telling me Murph when ya snapped that shot of me filling up my camelbak. Wonder how long it was there for!

Fine based on a self assessment gauged on previous mental state? :laugh:.

Toughen up blokes
The creek water is fine for drinking :unsure:
Maybe next time I’ll have to organise bottled mineral water for the yuppies :laugh:

So how do you know when you have a tick on your head? I remember when I was a kid my mum had one it had to get dug out :unsure:

Not fun. Sat night in our tent after the Murph ride I felt a bump on my head, kind like I hit it on the edge of a table. Felt like it had a head on it like a zit. Started to pick at it with my fingernail – bad idea. It decided to let me know by what felt like sinking it’s teeth into my nerve ending. Pain was bad for 5-10 min. I knew something wasn’t right. Sunday avo after the Diddel ride I got my mate to have a look at it because the bump got bigger. Tick! Bastard! We used what was at hand (in hand) – home brew bourbon! Mr Tick didn’t like the bourbon as much as we did and started backing out legs first. It got dark, we got too pissed to do much more and I went to sleep. In the morning just to be sure we dropped some premix onto him and he was well and truly deadski. Mal 5.1 took a look and grabbed some tweezers to rip him out of my head. Then off for the next ride we went!

Haven’t got around to my ride report all, been busy catching up with work, off to Norfolk Is for the week on holidays. Will post up all the pics and report when I’m back everyone.

Yeah figured as much…. bugger that!
