Rider of the day Not awarded
Stack of the day Not awarded
First ride of the season for KTMHunter and a flat battery on Katie means a slow start to the the day ... no probs, no one in a rush anyway. XRAdam takes the lead - reckons he knows the way ... bit risky but we'll give him a go. Straight thru all the local tracks to get warmed up. Heaps of construction and clearing going on at Yanchep so we give it a wide berth. More areas disappearing. Into the good stuff and heading towards Moore River. Emus by the dozen.

Big feed and refuel at the servo and back a different way. Go past the spot where Grazza snapped his wing a few rides back. The sand is energy sapping ... some parts are grippy from the rain but some are still just deep dust and drag your front wheel sideways whenever you start relaxing. Getting closer to the beach and KTMHunter heads bush when he and a 4wd coming the other way both pick the same line. The guys in the 4wd help him with a spot of gardening to retrieve the bike.

XRAdams 650 boils over so we get a 15min break and start thinking we are all stuffed - time to head home. Some good fast flowing trails on the way back and we all get fired up again and its some 4th gear sliders and bit of fun before we finally call it quits.

Tracks are good but need more rain ... have posted some stills from vid ... bit grainy but all I had.
