Great day out Boze. It had everything sun, rain , hail, snow and some brilliant riding until the storms blew and froze us out of the mountains. Really fast pace led by Boony out to the Berry patch arriving momments before the skies opened and the rain poured down. Highlight of the morning for me was trapping Boze in the biggest roost of mud and dirty water I have ever delivered – damn near drowned him.
After a great feed, i led the boys out and spent most of the arvo finding ways over under and around fallen trees although i didn’t always pick the best route I admit. We had a prettty good run through the singles but the gathering black skies were looking like a real threat. Sure enough we got hit by a hail storm that went on for a fair while and between it and some accompanying rain the trails soon became slippery streams. The hail eased off long enough for the snow to start and the accompanying winds were breaking off branches making staying in the forest too dangerous to continue. We headed home very slowly into wild winds, hail rain and snow and froze us before dropping out of the mountains into a welcoming warm Nundle.
After post ride soft drinks we headed to the Nundle pub to warm up and deliver Boze right on time to his suprise birthday party and a great night of celebrations held largely in the dark due to the storms taking out the power. thank god beer need gas not power and the publican who dragged out the BBQ. Some very sorry looking boys (and wives) this morning all looking for coffee and sunglasses.
Top ride top night out and a great bunch of blokes as usual.
Nundle rocks even when it freezes your tits off
