Saturday 22nd October

Bugs and texas arrived at mine and we rode over and met Dozer outside silverfoxes. Only the four of us as everyone else was, working, transporting, organising fixing, getting repaired or visiting those already holidaying. So as i said the four of us headed around the road to kennedys Bush. We trundled around the track at the bottom and then climbed the single walking track to the paddock, grunted up the muddy paddock and then up the little switchbacks. All cleaning them. The road took us to the fence and we then debated single track or gravel track. We chose the gravel track which was sensible as you could see the single track as we rode. It was under water. We then did Siberia down to the gate and after riding through the muddy bit here we started the long grind up. I even managed to ride up the lot. we then followed dozer up the steep option where texas and I dabbed before passing through a number of angry cows before the last few bends before the steep rutty section of the climb. I gotta admit i did not ride it all, in fact no one cleaned it all but they got close. We stopped for a bite at the road before trundling around and up to the top of the body bag. Down here we went with me finally being in front. Up to the B line we went and then bugs led us into some wet track. It was very wet and slippery in a lot of places, sliding and having fun. Plenty of smiles and mud flicking. At the bottom we finished on worsley and then down the road to the last off road section which was also fun, fast and slippery in places. we loved it. Dozer peeled off to pick up his car and we all met up at the garden center cafe for coffee and discussions about next years trip. great ride, me 35kms which i am happy about.
