    I didn't say I wern't going to make it
    Left 30mins late... got to sharland at 11:25..

    how do yer make the jump from "I have a flat battrey" to I'm not comeing....

    Remember that tyre tool you asked me tp bring?
    Well I did..... left it in the Hira for you to colect
    on your next trip

    If yer go to the far end of Bob Fern Rd..
    where it meets the fence line heading back towards
    Sharlands creek..ride all the up/downs along the fence line
    keep a eye pealed for a clear plastic bag wraped up
    with tape... its about 300 long / 40 dia..

    First ride in there for 20 years..did see anything I remembered
    maybe the fence line.. but thats changed ...

    Bets now being taken on who gets it....
    ( that guy on the DRZ400 was grinning like a goat in a garden
    when he went past me..hummmmm)

    I met up with Nrdie at Duckpond rd at 130pm. My legendary bike skills were absent today, as was my ironman fitness - in fact I fell over quite a few times & had to lie down on the ground to recover often - hard to believe I know. I managed to stay holding on to the bike thru most of the tough buts.
    just loading the vid onto the comp then will upload the good bits.

    Ha! Didn't expect a flat battery to stop ya!

    I waited there 'till 11:20! Then went up to the Gun Club up Hurricane Hill.
    You would have been coming down Sharlands Rd

    So close!
    I didn't get home 'till about 4pm or so...
