Sawyer Valley Saturday
Riders - Nathan, Hooters, MickKal, Jed, Allen, Bevan, Darrel, Kieran, Eddie, Simon, Ross, Dazzel, 2Slow Dave, DT200 Andy, Ian
Nathan agreed to Lead a ride thru Flynn for the Crustys after a bit of prodding from Hooters and it showed that he obviously knew the area well because he led us thru some great tracks that we don’t normally ride without having to use a GPS to find his way around. Impressive. The ride was capped at 10 but it sort of blew out a bit to 16 riders which is a big group to lead but luckily there was no bike or rider dramas and so it all ended up flowing pretty good with Nathan at the front and Andy as sweep in the rear. There were just enough hill challenges in to keep everyone interested but without going full on Erzberg on us. The first hill was probably the hardest with Dave and Hooters doing it easy while most others struggled a bit with a couple flips and offs that resulted in some good pics but luckily no injuries. And as always there was a crowd at the top of the hill to cheer on, mock and help out if required. Good conditions, no rain and some cool new single-track sections made for a great ride. We only managed 60klms for the day but that was enough for most and so headed back to the cars for a beer and chat.               |
