Thursday 16th March

Phatboy and Scrapster arrived and loaded myself and The Cook up. We headed over the hill to Allandale before riding into Living Springs. Scrapster and The Cook were both Virgins on this track so the first climb up the 4wd took their breath away. it took mine too!! Nice climb up through the trees to the top before coming on down. phatboy led. I did not have my eye in and was a bit slower than normal but still enjoyed. We regrouped at the rock before finishing the loop and grinding back up. It was a bit dim in the forest on the way up and pretty dark on the way down but we all made it safely. Much faster run this time, feeling better and pumping hard. With darkness falling we headed down the 4wd drive to the car. The cook laughing hysterically at one point as he went over a rutted section (no control) and made it in 1 piece. Good ride but night lights are rapidly approaching. Charge those batteries boys and girl, cos we gonna need them.
