    Definitely a good days ride & I'm aching all over today.

    Shane's speed & stamina on the KLR was an eyeopener "another Woodman?" Mark was vengeful leading Shane into the bogs behind Orange hut, but always gave a helping push - that tyre is toast, toss it. Good to see you Merv, also bloody fast, "sorry Andy I had to pass you, no brake couldn't stop"

    Photos in random order-
    1 Pylon track off Hydro Rd - scenic spot for a breather but I had to veto the politics discussion!
    2 Mark rides straight over the highest berm - what does his jersey say? .... SHIT!
    3 Washout on Odlins Rd - glad we went to the end last month.
    4 Shane in action - it was a clencher, riding over the hump behind him. No room to dab a foot, with either a drop into the bog or downhill into the pinetrees.
    5 Shane objected to riding under the tollgate, so on the return he just drove the steamroller straight over.

    Nice one Mark, perhaps just as well I didn't do that next bit as the old out-of-practice body probably did enough for first day back on dirt for a while.
    Cheers

    Nice ride, something I'd be quite happy using my CRF on.
    Can't believe you guys didn't have proper puncture repair gear (spare tube and tools to install it) with you.
    Never seen an adventure or off road puncture that that spray in goo would be able to fix.

    Herd mixed reports of the Slime that goes in as a preventative measure.

    The team had gear but honestly I couldn't be bothered changing it there, much better at home where I could wash it out properly and fit it all in nice clean conditions else I'd want to take it off again. I'd never had success with tyre pando type things but the slime is sold as suitable for tubed tyres and it would have been more like 5 years old not 10 but it was a failure all the same.
    Cheers

    Slime or tyre pando will never fix a big hole, but a small hole it can.
    Actually Alane used tyre pando today and it worked, but he still decided to put a new tube in later on anyway when we were all sitting round at subway wondering what to do.
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........
