Being the avid flower appreciator that I am (not to mention my current floral arrangement 101 course I am completing at midwest Tafe college) I will of course be lining up in the old stomping ground to school the lot of you in riding the red dirt.
So There!

Roley - If Brownie comes up with that lame excuse again I'll have to ride Iron man. Merv had no intention of going to Perth for the weekend and is only going for an excuse because he is toooo scared.

Looking at doing the P/E Colin. Heading out there this Wed/Thur to mark it out with Simon. Spent last Wed checking the place out and finding some loops. Not going to comment this time on lack of dust as Leighton Station was dusty by the time the event was ran. Wild flowers are in full bloom out there for all you new age metro sexual guys (Brownie).

Come-on CQers I might be pulling a Brownie (the bunged up knee excuse! LOL) but where are the rides being called? Its the winter time - we live for the winter months and I can only sit at home and think about a ride, though the knee is on the mend!
Oh for the next year's WCST ride please don't call it after the 17th June as I will be on my 8 day Postie Bike Run fund-raising ride to Broome for the Toodyay Lions Club & the Royal Flying Dr.
FYI
Geraldton MX Club - Pony Express Sept 5th
Woodradden Farm Mullewa
4Hr Pony Express / Ironman Event
Camping:
Camping area is located at the start, great spectator viewing…..that’s all that is needed for a great weekend away……
There will be a BBQ after the event.
Course Details:
Natural flowing tracks, breakaway bush with a number of river crossings following the contour hill sides with single-trails. All areas are challenging for all levels of rider. Lap distance is approx 15ks

Don't know the dates for WCS next year yet. It will more than likely be in June around the same time. Georgina & I spoke about dates and we decided to wait to see what other events were on so that our ride didn't clash with any other ride.

Who is looking after the WCS tour booking date for next year. I want to book some leave in advance and do not want to miss out on the ride.

A bit quiet you say, 15 reports in the last two months shows a keen group. Welcome Felix.

Hey Felix, it seems to be a bit quiet at the moment.
Just keep an eye on the board & the events section for anything going on.

I have just purchased a Garmin 60CSX and I am looking for advice on suitable topo maps, possible alternatives to the expensive Garmin Aus Topo.
Something compatible with what is in use with the Crusty's.
PS Nice ride report Tige

Onya Tommy for becoming a LEGEND and turning PINK.

Great report TigeR as usual now that I’m a so called Legend I don’t want to forget my true status as a rider hence the new intro photo LOL.
|
 |
Thanks for the report TigeR.
Your the only bloke who could get away with calling me slow but make it sound like a good thing.
Always entertaining TigeR.
Great work silver tongue.

Midwest ride on Saturday - Heading out towards the MOR to ride west of the Highway near the Bridge!! Let me know if you are in.
Tommy - I'll race you to 200 rides.

TigeR another great report and good to find out what I missed out on! Thanks again guys for the help on Saturday and its goods to show how the Crusty spirit of looking out for each other on the trail and the Cornerman system really does work. TigeR thanks for stepping in as the Sweep but yeah the fashion police would be making comment about your style!
Congats Tommy on being a Legend even if you took out Phil! Oh Tommy I just love your new Intro pic! LOL
Hope you are OK Phil?
I am slowly mending, seems to be just a lot of swelling (on the knee!) that an elevated leg, with ice packs and a compression bandage is sorting out! Might be out for a few weeks though!

Great report, thanks TigeR. I like the comparison to the MF135, I think a few will choke when they read that LOL.

Report up for Sat ... who's a legend now! Don't forget to wave Tommy when you ride past me on the Intro board.

Yes, Saturday's ride was eventful and enjoyable as always. Once I got the DRZ safely parked in the muddy rut, I dismounted in time to see Roley and Tommy racing to get their cameras out. Their comments seemed to imply that they were extemely happy to witness me bogged up to the axle.
Later on we found out that Roley had damaged himself attempting to earn SOTD. I voted to leave him waiting on the side of the track until we returned from the roadhouse, but the others thought it best that I wet-nurse him back to the cars while they keep riding. I'm sure they were full of concern for Roley's wellbeing as they powered off.
Thanks to Darin for calling and leading the ride, Roley for sweeping, and Tommy for getting my bike out of the rut. I hope Roley's injury isn't serious, although he's got his wife convinved that the pain extends up to his groin. LOL

I'm not happy with my colour co-ordination in that shot :-)

That is a good picture of TigeR, I also like the one of Steve with his hands on his hips looking at his bike stuck in the water/rut. As the saying goes "a penny for your thoughts Steve" LOL.

Nice pic in the gallery TigeR.

Excellent day yesterday, thanks Darin - well led, great tracks. Hope you're healing Roley & Phil.
We tried to get Tommy to do a report to explain what being a legend means to him ... "I am a legend, you do the report" was the reply or something like that :-) ... report on the way ... later!
