Good as it gets North Dandy ride
North dandalup - Lucky 13
Mickal, Hooters, Pounce, Jed, Simon, Dave too fast, Mikey, Lukey, Kelly, Frankie, David, Joemc, dickturtle200 Mick called it 13 lucky punters signed up. Rain all week none on the day - perfect. Boots on 8:30, after sorting a tricky not starting problem on David’s bike ummm pulled the choke out . Mick leading Pounce sweeping We headed up into the hills perfect tracks but this is north dandy so plenty of rocks and tree roots to keep everyone on their toes, or on the ground depending on the roll of the dice. Plenty of little crashes and off peste trips into the bush. Mikey and Lukey got their baptism of fire bush riding with the crusty legends (that’s code for worn out old codgers ) Both holding their own although Mikey having a few wee lay downs . Luke’s dad Kelly cruised along taking in the scenery and watching out for the under 18’s. Big shout out to Jacko the super sweep, we used one of his tricks to get David’s front brake working, water in the brake reservoir to get it working again. Cause of the damp logs and wet clay there were crashes an laughs aplenty- no one hurt so perfect. A fair range of riders and bikes made the day interesting and a few gnarly up and downhills kept everyone honest. Everyone was pretty knackered towards the end and the pack divided into 2 for the last 10km Pounce took the the weary warriors back on the bitchy and Mick dragged the rest along through some easy trails back to the cars. We stopped for a small fuel up for Mikey- some must have leaked out while the bike was on da ground - which was a lot Rob’s rear brake was toasted on arrival back- see pics, not even Jacko could fix that Great day, beers to finish. Thanks Mick for leading, Pounce for sweeping, David for the fuel, Mikey for carrying my water ( some idiot left his camelpak at home ) Frankie for the old man mx pant overalls tip- they’ve been ordered See y’all next time                           |
