Yep, great weekend (for ducks). Convoyed with the Fatboy & his son Hamish on Friday morning, cross country to the Abbey, with a stop off at "Tarts" in Mansfield. Rain started about,um, Whitfield & didn't stop till Saturday morning
. All the crew did maintenance stuff around the property until about 1-ish & then decided to head off for a blast. We didn't let Marls come...
... It was the shortest ride with the most um, little catasrophe's. Our tailman Seano on Camp Creek Track, decided to do a bit of 'Jousting' on a tree stump (ouch), sorry to hear about the broken rib mate, hope you heal real soon, then there was Doug on an off doing the downhill slalem & hurting foot & shoulder & broken lever
, um, then there was Jeff with a flat tyre, didn't know it was flat till midway of the ride
, then there was Mr Will cooking his breaks with gas, on another slalem downhiller, which locked up & had to let the steam out, and I mean steam, they were smoki'n, even out of his ears!
Me, well, um, was wondering why my bike was handling like a pogo stick...yeh my rear shocker was so shocked with it all, it blew!
And the last big downhill down Schulz's track, Jeffrey had an off on the boulders & we had to repair the sidecasing with a hole in it on his toy & that's about it. Got back to camp at around 5.30 then had to take Marls out on an adventure ride
. Thanks to everyone & Dave Smith for leading the ride on Saturday.
Thanks AMTRA for use of their great property...excellent for camping.
Cheers....Fred
