The no dust ride!
Mick called a ride for Saturday, not a great deal of interest but five dust resistant hardy souls rolled up for an adventure ride from Sawyers thru to Jaradale. Light adventure ride, crusty style. We met up at round 8:00am, 4 outta 5 drove so we dressed boots on for 8:30.
Pretty steady ride over to Jaradale , quite tight in places and no dust. We were counting on 2 hrs there but was just over 3, like I said a little tight in places really enjoyable single perfect for the 500’s and Frankie was throwing the DR 650 round so we had a good pace, Bertie’s 690 was handling ok until a little drop bent his gear lever which slowed him up a bit, and we didn’t attemp to straighten it in case it snapped - or worst - the shaft! Other than that a couple cheeky offs from Issac no drama, in Jaradale just after the pub opened - perfectly timed mick! Couple beers for hydration purposes bye to Bertie, who took the hard top home. More great trails and still no dust, especially down the back where I was sweeping. Mick took pity on us an took the easy option for the return leg with heaps of time saving dirt roads, still no dust! Back to sawyers for a beer just before 4pm 250km all up. Great day cheers Mickal good work leading as usual |
