Southern Sojourn

3 Riders DazzaM, fingers, ktmshaun
Rider of the day DazzaM
Stack of the day Not awarded
Ktm’s were the only bike of the day for this ride. 140 odd kms of joy.
First up got on to the freeway and driving straight into lightning and rain and thought hell, hope this doesn’t continue all day.

At servo meet point in down south in 90 mins, gotta love the new highway. Makes the southern riding areas only 30mins or so extra travel time compared to a metro ride, too easy.
Then clear skies all the way to park spot. Not a drop all day and some of the best riding conditions (plenty of rain the night before) in a great location that you could ever ask for.
First up into some single track feeling the freedom and adrenaline of the day kick in. Into some hill climbs, awesome. Continued onto some long well known single track clocking up the kms. Met up with some local rally drivers doing time trails. More single track and started to loop around. Came across a gnarly hill climb that takes about 40 mins to get down and back up again but were heading back at that point. Will leave that one for next time.

90 odd kms later and back at cars to refuel bike and body. Back out to do 50kms after lunch and back into single track and exploring. Fingers is throwing the Ktm 300 around like a bmx over logs and loves the tight single track. His first time to ride this area as he is new to WA and is loving it. DazzaM shares the lead around so a cracking pace is set as there is no one to wait for. No dust so we are always within sight and enjoying the flow. Acid gloves in superb form as always.

Towards the end of the day we come across a technical hill climb. Keeps going on and on with mud and rock. We all get bogged down in sections but all manage to get up.
A last all in race from a standing start up the big hill climb and then back along fast single trail to the cars.

A few small stacks but nothing major so no SOTD awarded.
One of the best days riding with great conditions and great location.

Thanks fellas.
Cheers.
