Got to Zig Zag about 7:15 with coffees for Chris Rolf and myself. Rolf rang and said he was going to be 15min late. Chris turned up about 7:20 and there were two other guys near us preparing to ride. Turns out Chris knows these guys, Russell and James. Chris told them to join the site as they are like most of the guys here, getting back into riding. Rolf turns up and with coffees consumed where off.
Russell volunteered to lead a loop they do regularly of nice fire trail and single track. Starting with the normal singles and trails to the motocross track and then onto more commonly used singles. Russell and James had found some rarely used singles and fire trail that were just magic to ride on.
Nice smooth and flowing and a good pace kept big smiles on everyone. Russell took us to an endruo loop that is near the camp ground (I think) and we all did a lap. Then we reversed the tracks all the way back to the cars. An excellent morning’s ride with great guys. Good to meet Chris, Russell and James. Looking forward to the next ride.
Rolf and I went to Mt Vic pub for a rump steak and a couple of beers :woohoo: . Then I was off for another ride later in the arvo :laugh: .
Only a couple of small issues for the ride.
Russell had a fuel issue, or lack thereof. He had hit reserve at about 25km :ohmy: and he thinks that the fuel leaked out in the trailer over night. Chris drained a couple of litres out his WR and James had about half a litre spare from his back pack fuel drum. This got him to the end of the ride.
Rolf got a rear flat. He had a spare tube, so we had it fix in no time.
James took a few pics. Mainly of Rolf and I fixing his flat and the Berg bogged (ECKS you will remember this bog hole when I took you through it when you had the banana)
James is going to email them to Chirs and he will post then when time permits.
Cheers
Mal.
