    This is the first time ever i have done a report and to be asked by the Australia Post Elite Mail Delivery Team to complete one i must say it is an honour and a little intimidating.

    Any body who has ridden with or knows Pat understands that he is a young bloke. too young to be pickin on old blokes who he rides with. Ive said it before but here goes again.

    This kid brings alot of energy to the table.

    Pat decided he wanted to do some exploring on a track.
    I told him it was a dead end that no body rides but he decided to go any way.
    P1010223Medium.jpg
    there is no real track there
    after a half hour of listening and waiting to his “Elite Mail Delivery Team” Gas Gas (His words not mine) screaming in the bushes i sent Dale to retrieve him.
    P1010222Medium.jpg
    P1010224Medium.jpg
    this is Dale returning with no sign of Pat. Mind you there is only one track that goes to a dead end ?
    then mysteriously Pat returns from the overgrown bush.
    P1010226Medium.jpg
    P1010227Medium.jpg
    where have you been Pat ? He decided to try and make it through to the main road using the snow plow method.

    Learnt the hard way not to listen to non postal service blokes, Me: “reckon it’ll rain?” tf2: “nah you’ll be right”
    It did in fact rain on the way back. tf2 got wet :laugh:.

    Quite a good ride a lot of sniffing around but the stuff found was great.

    Also tf2 was broken by a hill, full of excuses of course :laugh:.

    We rode on doing more singles. We rode down a track were i thought we may be able to do a loop back up to the main track. Hadnt ridden this part of the area before.
    P1010228Medium.jpg
    This is the start of the track. Pat is keen so once again he heads in. Dont go to far Pat.Just a quick look and come back. :angry:
    Any how after an hour of listening to the Gas Gas screaming and then going silent in the distance Pat re emurged on the track we had just ridden down. He decided to do the full loop and returned with stories of horror on the trail. Crossing it of his to do list. :laugh:

    during the hour break Dale and i took turns looking further down the hill and staying vigil by the side of the track. we came across this hill
    P1010230Medium.jpg
    P1010232Medium.jpg
    Once Pat was back with us we decided to have a go at it.
    This is Dale triumphantly returning
    P1010233Medium.jpg
    while Dale was having his turn Pat decided once again to do some exploring on a track to the side. So off he went again
    P1010235Medium.jpg
    P1010237Medium.jpg
    when he returned he had a go off the hill. thats him in the hivis up the top walking his bike to the top.
    P1010239Medium.jpg
    Dale had enough of the exploring. on his computer we had been riding for 1 hour 45min. We started at 9.30am and it was now 2.30pm. So he left

    Pat and I headed back to the cars exploring some more. It started raining and was very cold and I lost my Mojo. I think i hit every rut and tree in the singles on the way back making it very frustrating. Pat was on fire at one with his machine and loving every rain soaked moment. This kid is like a wild horse.

    The end.
