Sunday 25th March

SIlverfox texted to say Rubberjaws was taking The Cook to hospital as he was knocked off his bike Sat evening after one or two to many after the rugby. Silver fox then heading to my place for a lift to Dot Com. Meet Dozer, Sandles, Tinkerbell and then Phatboy. Lovely day for a ride. Was a day to ride all the tracks we were not to ride. Headed up Richmond Hill in a nice group then onto the farm track all the way to the top. Sorted into a order of some kind and started the decent down closed track 1, Bugs snapping his rear Derailleur cable that left him with a 2 speed, big and very big gear. Headed to the bottom where we meet on the road. Phatboy has done a roll in the long grass some where on the way but was fine. Everyone else seemed to have good bit's and not so good bits. Hit closed track 2,3 & 4 with no one clearing them all. Phatboy doing another roll and landing on his sore hands from some another mishap. Tinkerbell wished he had another 3 inches of wheel. Dozer had a few issues with every rock. Regroup at the top of closed track 5 and very quickly headed down till nearly at the beach. One rut still being a pain to some off us. It even had some mud in it this time. Off on closed track 6 with Sandles taking the lower line and all meeting up in the carpark at Taylors. Headed up the road, Bugs flying ahead in his big gear. Might use that gear more often as it was a lot quicker. Coffee at Dot com then home. Great ride
