Well there was no dust, thats for sure. :sick:
Started off wet and it just got wetter
Thanks to Justo, Littswood, Al and Tim for coming out on such a miserable day. :blush:
Dust supression rain dance worked a little too well. :silly:
Started with a snotty single hill climb which had everybodys arms pumped by the time we got to the top, then onto the left side of Watagan Forest Drive for the usual singles. conditions were very wet but mostly the crew of 5 moved well. Prick Hill was done with only one of us needing a second attempt (Justo. :whistle: ). Evidently there was some carnage on another hill but I missed all that. :huh: We ducked back out onto the main road for a while so as to miss what we call Dudes Hill and the mesh gullies. It would of taken too long to drag bikes through them and the crew were keen to conserve energy for the assault on Hitchcocks. Did a few more singles before dropping down Tunks with waterfalls all around us. :woohoo:
Some tar. :angry: was ridden before we hit Hitchys and after some bush bashing to get around some fallen trees (I actually bashed one tree pretty hard) A few dramas before getting to the first rock slab were overcome with some help from each other. I tried the slab first but gave the old 525 a bit too much and only made it a small way up before losing traction. Tim, Al and Justo also failed on their first attempts. Littswood had sussed out an alternative route but still needed assistance to get through. Tims second attempt was on the money so Al and I had to make it next go which we did. Justo had a couple more goes before taking the alternative. The hill kept coming with plenty of rock steps and slabs and plenty of waterfalls. Eventually made it to the top after way too much dragging bikes for my liking. Won’t mention any names but it was a certain newer model 450 and 300 that caused the most greif. :kiss:
Tims bike was oozing milky oil so not long after he decided to ride the main rd back to the car
The remainder did some singles down Whitmans then down Zig Zag. Had a quick look at Woos Hill but opted for the easier option back to Maculata which had me a little lost at times. Passed a few crazy 4WD’s down at the bog holes. :ohmy: Rode some nice rocky sections back up to Watagans Forest Drive and back to the cars
Great day even if the weather was very grim
Put that bloody new rear tyre on before your next ride Littswood. :laugh: :laugh:
Pics to come later or tomorrow
Another thanks to everone for showing up in the pissing down rain.
Cheers
