Rider of the day husq mike
Stack of the day Jacko
Just got in from Jacko's Adventure ride."Wongan and Back"
No one mentioned report duty ,so thought I had better chuck a few words together.
I must admit , I agreed a bit hesitantly to go on this ride. I'm thinking sore bum and sore shoulders.

Players: Jacko,Fueltanker Alan,Tommy,Mick450,WR Ross and Husk Mike.

Met Jacko at some ungodly hour and we set of for first meeting place , picked up Alan and Mick.
Found Tommy and Ross at Bindoon.
We set off towards the hills found some nice tracks which suited the big tourers. Jacko did a 'view for all' slide out of some mud, so I do have to nominate him for stack of the day.
Many K's later after gravel and bitumen tracks we got to the lake country. Unfortunately the roads which seem to lead to the Lakes on the map ended up in farmers yards, so we bailed and went to Wongan pub for a countery.Very good too.

We left there full of spirits and Jacko planning a Mammoth ride through bush tracks and short cuts to Pinjar.
Sounded good ,except we were still a long way from home.Started following the railway line, which turned out to be a great blast, with many water holes still lurking. Jacko finding one a bit deep.
Husq Mike found out, that full face helmets don't stop mud splatter cause they don't have visors. Thanks Ross.
Fortunately for all, Mick started feeling faint and needed some fluids near the Scottaustralia?? tavern, so we had to take him in quickly to get revived. After the 1/2 hour revival , we all agreed that time was against us to do much more except head for the setting sun.

My DRZ recoded 525ks.A bit of record for me.
Thanks Jacko for leading and all for enduring the distance.
No sweep needed. All old hands at this and it worked well.
