Ride Report for “One wet Wednesday in Febuary”

After our recent unseasonable rain Thomas covered all bases and sent out the call for a ride for Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. I didn’t want to spend hump day at work so I suggested Wednesday at the lakes and KTMshaun then joined in as well. Deepdirt was a late inclusion and also brought along a non crusty mate for the ride which made 5 riders in total.

Thomas said he had a solid 80klm single track loop and was itching to go at 7:00am but some unforeseen toilet issues saw the ride start around 7:30. We took off on the usual access track and then headed west towards Sawyers Valley and into some good single track within the first few klms. Ground conditions were perfect, puddles, a bit of mud and no dust to be seen.

We continued west and Thomas took us into two good single track sections which I haven’t ridden before and then into a familiar river run. Then up and down a couple of decent hills and then onto the usual creek run. We then zig zagged our way back to the lakes and ended up with total of 67klm on the clock for the day.

There were unconfirmed reports of a stack by KTMshaun but I did witness Deepdirt stack it nicely on a down hill corner. Every self respecting crusty needs a SOTD award next to his name so the gong has to go to Deepdirt.

ROTD goes to Thomas for finding cool new tracks and letting me have a ride of his brand new KTM 200.

Back at the cars it was 11:00 and it was starting to get pretty hot and so everybody loaded up quickly. KTMshaun and Thomas decided to leave but the rest of us who were less concerned about it only being 11:00 in the morning went to the Sawyers valley tavern for a cold beer.
