    With an early start to beat the heat we set off with 9 riders
    1 KTM BULL 525
    2 KTM Rat 576
    3 G L Puddels
    and some local track legends and a few mates
    We started out on some open trails and ended up on some very nice single trail some very gnarley hill climbs and some fast main trail to cool off we met my wife for food and at lookout no. 2 and a refuel it was the decided to keep to faster trails to keep cooler the dust was thick but we had a strong breeze blow the worst away most of the time with a decent gap.we ended up covering around 130km and had a blast considering the weather. Amazingly the rat avoided any mishap this ride

    Pity I couldn’t get my crap together to make it.Sounds like a good blast, I was thinking the dust would be bad though, but couldn’t be any worse that what we had last weekend.
    Were you up towards Bellangry?

    Bull , a good ride was had by all, but puddles will be unable to walk tomorrow, we had to practically carry him to his car at the end, I tell you I think he had those blisters on his hands before we started:laugh:

    Mate that Mono you did was awesome. I thought he will loose it and I am going to run him down and thats why I came up beside and tried to kick you off, I really care for you you can see that now

    I still want to know how you managed to get the water cart down into some of those lower gullies, the traction was great there in some spots, I also wished we had a camera for those bulls we saw in that back paddock, I did not think they were going to stop coming towards us:huh:

    What about some of those jumps Puddles was pulling off, I bet he thought we were taking the piss out of him, I still say it was only 6 inches off the ground, well thanks again for letting us use the ranch as starting point and thanks to the cook for bringing the tucker to us, and do you think you could get out of 3rd gear next time, I wanted to try and hit the ton on Betty and every time I tried there was a bull in the way, The swim in the river was a refreshing way to finish, I say we get some floaties for Puddles as well, What do you think his reaction will be

    If you lernt the trails you could lead warp speed Rat and i think Puddles did realy well today as we didnt take it easy on him and he was never that far behind and even was pulling away from the sweep at the end i heard a rumour:lol:
