It was a last minute call to do an early morning run to Metro. A late Friday
post netted 4 Crusties and 1 newbie.
We met at the car park and was ready to hit the trails by 8am. Conditions
couldn't have been any better. Rain over the past 3 days and now the sun was
shining down on us from above, a true sign from the Enduro Gods!
We didn't take any conventional GPS with us as two of us new parts of Metro
reasonably well. We did have a secret weapon though, KTM Carl! He has an
inbuilt GPS and somehow always manages to get us back onto a familiar track.
We enjoyed hammering through the tight single tracks, splashing through the
abundance of pothole puddles, negating the rock infested hill climbs and
riding the mountainous whoops. Even played the occasional game of "Dodgem"
with the local fauna.
After about 60k's and 2 and a half hours later we stumbled back to the car
park with all of us still intact with no contenders for SOTD.
We were keen to kick off the boots to remove our drenched socks and attempt
to get some color and movement back into our toes. Some of those puddles
just don't seem to have a bottom!
The general consensus was that of content for a most excellent morning blast
at Metro.
Bloody Awesome I say......
