Micks Thinking Of Pounce Ride
Part 1 by Hooters
Mick posted a ride late Friday and after talking to rob an Tony, we were in. 7:30am at the lakes drive to the spot, perfect not too early, nice short blast home early arvo. by the time Tony and I got to the lakes 3 missed calls 7:26, 7:28, 7:29???? apparently the boys were keen to get going!! after the usual banter we convoyed out to the park up spot. we being me Tony, wr rob, wr Lindsay, crf Jason, Tommy, mick450 wanynovb. Mick leading Tommy sweeping. booted up we cruise off, mix of pea gravel tracks and overgrown loamy sandy trails through the trees... The trails changed to a wet clay pan flat plenty of laughs and roostings (me getting laughed at and roosted!!)we arrived at a boggy section, and with the crew milling around like lost cattle someone had to make a move, so katy and I went swimming deep stinking water an mud, and about 2m from the smart line, but hey we were through. no drama and this was pretty much the end of the clay pan, back into the trees pea gravel mixed with loamy sections, a couple of tricky rocky climbs and a creek that we followed for a few km zig zagging across more laughs and roostings couple of bikes stuck and a set of sore balls, mmm not cool bro!! back at the cars soon after noon, perfect. Tony and Lindsay back on the bikes after a break were after a short run, and Jason had the little tacker to get home to. me well I had just cracked a beer before being informed of part II, safety first eh! I would have loved to continue but it just wouldn't be safe, so me and my sore balls skulled the beer and went home!!! cheers Mick and Tommy. hey Tommy I will run a log workshop soon....!!!!! Part 2 by Waynovb The Midday Matinee Set have pulled stumps and bolted. Down to 5 Crusties. Mick..."hang on,where's Hooters gone". Wayno..."he had a big ride yesterday so he's gone home to drink beer". Rob..."bullshit,he's throwing a dinner party tonight so he's gone home to frock up and peel spuds and cook quiche. He's been watching Masterchef ". Make that 4 Crusties. Tommy's been sweep all morning so hies amped up and decides to lead.No worries says Mick.But hang on...no Hooters...no stunts...we NEED a stuntman.Pick me says Tommy, I'm game...Settled. After 10 minutes of playing find the creek,we find the creek.Awesome,single track and gullies up the bank, down the bank.This is hot.Tommy's flying.Then he has a moment...holds onto it...blasts away again...impressive. How goods this. What's that up ahead?...a giant log...30 feet long 2 foot high...with a bike wide section smashed out of it...Tommy's bike laying in the dirt to the right...Tommy laying in the dirt to the left.What the f$ck.Me and Rob just stare.Tommy picks himself up,dusts himself off and mumbles "fock fock'n Hooters and his fock'n logs". Hmmm, no more stuntman.Come back Hooters,all is forgiven. Tommy's off again and shredding.Rob's shredding too.Then Rob's drops the WR...down a gulley...Picks it up and takes off.Next gully he drops it again...Mick roosts him...Rob gets back on,then falls straight off again.He looks around to see if I was watching. I look away. Tommy's blistering pace is getting to him. Away again, up some hills, down some hills back along another creek , no more spills. We stumble across some more wicked single track...Rob wants to go on...We don't...I need a beer, so does Mick and so does Tommy...so Mick saves it on his GPS for another ride.After an hour and a half we're back at the cars sucking on a cold one dribbling shite...as u do...and wondering how Hooters is going in the kitchen.
