You probably had less of this stuff on the R1 when you got home?Originally Posted by madmartin
100m section at the start of Old Coach Rd from the Riverside end.
Felt like the wheels were out of balance on the highway for some reason.
Took 20min to hose the clay off...

bahahahaha
the wheels on the R1 stop turning when you get too much mud on them

Hah.... I know where you went
We shifted some steers along there this avo, they didn't go through that shit though.
I was tempted to have a wee play on the quad in it though
I aint bovvered
Looks remarkedly messy Nordie well done. Bet you're a tired tonie from pulling the big lump out of the mud.
I went for a road ride along French pass rd to the 1st kinda lookout. Blimmin bewdy out there today.
I've got road tyres on the front of Schmidt now & gave them a real workoutGot kinda seasick on the way home tho

The clay had a nice hard top.
Unfortunately, the top was only 5mm thick and underneath was perma-slop.
You could stand on one side and see the other side ooze...
I think that was the slickest clay I've ridden in/on.
Even Mt Greenland gave more traction...
Farrrrk, I've missed this sort of stuff
The pushie is ok, but it doesn't give you the upper body workout
It's stagnant water over the whole section and has just seeped into the clay...
Coasting
Seriously? That trip we did to Greenland was crazy slippery steep tractionless madness!! But, now that summer is here and it will be drier, when is the next trip to knock it off?

Mt Greenland wasn't trying to suck your boots off with every step...

Hmmmm..... Mt Greenland ? I have 3x the hp now so it should be easy
Unless I talk nicely to Underground and scab the zombie bike for a weekend

After the rugger i devided to go for a low key exploring type ride out Dovedale way. Went up sunday creek road and saw some cool forest tracks about where the old Panic Mac track started so tried a few. Got stuck on one hill as it was too steep so tried another that went on and on and eventually started looking familiar albeit now with no trees.
All was going well then the engine spluttered a bit and then eventually stopped going down a hill. Out of gas, bugger no worries my 28-ish litre tank has a pretty good reserve so I switched it over on the fly but it still wouldn't go so i stopped to investigate. Checked the fuel tap and looked in the tank, and realised to my horror that I was already on reserve and the tank was as dry as a dry thing. Nothing to do but start walking so thats what I did, after about half an hour of walking mostly uphill I thought I would call one of the NADS, but the problem was, i had no idea where I was. Anyway another hour and a half walking with my mx boots forming blisters on my feet I eventually came to an intersection that looked like it went somewhere. Was just deciding what to do when a Vitara with a couple of pig hunters came along so I hailed them down and asked if they had gas. They had about 300ml in a can for the mower so I jumped in the back with the pigdogs and they drove me back to the bike.
I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

We got to the bike and I duly poured the gas in, knowing that it was barely enough to get me to where they picked me up. The bike still wouldn't go so I checked the fuel tap, as ya do, and it was in the off position. Funny, don't remember turning it off. You know where this is going right? Anyway I discreetly turned the tap to reserve and the bike started.
The pig hunters said they would follow me to a gate and gave me directions to Trass valley road (cool track btw) which is mostly downhill so coastable when I run out of gas.They then gave me a pak,n,save bag to tie to another gate that would indicate if I had been through or not so when they drove out they would know whether to wait and take me to the gas station. Top blokes IMHO and they wouldn't take any dosh for gas etc. Thanks guys, whoever you are.
Anyway I didn't have the heart to tell them that I had plenty of gas all the time, so rode out , tied the bag to the gate and rode home somewhat redfaced.
Moral of this wee story is:
Sometimes i am a dumb fcuk.

Yes, but you fall off with style so we forgive you...Sometimes i am a dumb fcuk.
So who else is going to the National Road Relay (running) Champs tomorrow?
