Husky at Nannup. (ride report)
Players: Martyn, Pete450, KtmShaun and new player Justin.
ROTD to Pete.
Early 7.30am start at the pub in Nannup. Then off to the park up. New player Justin rolls out the new TE300 Husky for its maiden voyage.
Off into the reverse loop run. 10kms in I realise I have left my camelback in the car. Not a great move on a warmish day.
Plenty of dust around but this was less in the pines and loamy sections and with only 4 of us it was easy to manage and leave some space. Great thing about this weather is you do not need to clean the bike of all the clay and mud we normally get caked with!
A very brisk early pace as Marto and Justin were cruising through the single trail on their 300’s chasing down Pete up front.
Justin had an off at speed in third gear on the new Husky. Just a bit of bark off the body and a few bruised ribs but all good. Straighten the front wheel up and we are back into it.
Heaps of Roo's and Emu's around but we managed to avoid those this time!
End of the day we tackled fence line hill. Pete and Justin cruised straight up. Marto and I lost momentum just over half way up but managed to restart on the hill and get to the top, so we all got up relatively quickly which is not always the way.
Great to be out of the bike before Easter in a magic part of WA. Good night camping in the bush on Sat night also to break the trip up.
Thanks to Pete for leading once again with his intricate knowledge of all the tracks built up over the years. He keeps it flowing and finds the trails every time. ROTD to Pete.
Cheers Shaun.
