    I post up that i wont be there till 9 am. I,m there and geared up by ten past and ring aido, no worries their only about four k’s away. So I sits and have a durrie. An hour goes past before Aido and Tim arrive. Bit of a problem they says, we lost Scott, who is having his first ever ride in the bush. Menace and John rock up so a decision was made to send a search party. About fifteen minutes later we get a call to say Scott is back at the cars. Turns out a couple of other riders came across him and directed him back.

    Meself, Aido, Marty, Menace, Tim, John, arewethereyet and Scott regroup and its off straight to the Pub for lunch with every one enjoying their kiev’s, hamburgers and fish and chips. Aido even made the comment that he had just had one of the best alpha alpha sandwiches in his life. :woohoo:

    Back on the bike and a bit of racing started happening. I’m chasing Aido sitting right on his tail when we come to a 4WD rutted section. Aido takes the high side with me right behind him. Half way across Aido slips into the muddy rut and goes over the bars rolling. Mmmmmm think me, I’ll try and jump the rut to get around but ended up going in meself slaming into the back of Aido before doing me best Jackie Chan stunt roll i could muster. All good with no injury but Menace decided he wanted some of the action, so being the good bloke he is put his bike in front of our stricken bikes and gives em a good roost. Prick.

    Things got a bit worse for me up the track when a stick went through me boot and snapping off in it. I could feel it against me ankle but unfortunately because of another bike crash years ago i have no feeling on the top of me foot. I could feel pressure and when i tried to move me foot i couldn’t. V line back to the cars to inspect the damage. Like blood thirsty vultures everyone gathered round and after some discussion me boot was undone and i put me hand down in the boot to see what damage there was. Because of my superior athleticism and fitness it was found that the stick had just grazed me ankle but most were impressed by the amount of blood. :blush: :blush: :dry: :unsure:

    Check out the Wallaby who tried to attack me as i was riding one legged.

    Good to meet all the blokes again and a big thanks to Aido for once again stuffing a good day up.

    More vids to come.
    :woohoo: :blush:

    Best be getting my name on this list also. The ways its looking there wont be any room for us Vicco’s. :laugh:

    As for how cold it gets, as long as it doesnt piss rain and blow a gail a good jacket is all thats needed (and grip warmers :P ) its also a good idea to put zip ties in you helmets to scare off the dropbears.

    G’day Charlie and welcome. Things are a bit slow here at the moment as most are out on a weekend ride which i’m sure most will be reported on from tonight and tomorrow.
