Default Weekend Ride Report

I needed to head down south on the weekend to do some work.

Every cloud has a silver lining.....

We loaded up the bikes and hit the tracks around Wellington Dam which is about 2.5 hours drive south of Perth.

Ahhh the serenity.......

That mud was a lot stickier than it looks.
But it could have worse...........It could have been me!
That's my friend Rob
As it turned out, it took both of us to get it out.

Some of the tracks were quite a challenge.

Just prior to this spot, i managed to lose control and flip, breaking the rear guard.
The bike ended up in the bushs off the track and after picking it up it ended up here.

We followed this track for quite a while before it just petered out into nothing.

Yes Deej, mud! (Take a few deep breaths deej, maybe a lie down.)
Lots of it as well.
I made it through but when I turned around Rob had lost the front end and was lying in it.
After I stopped laughing I remembered the camera.
Look at his side. He is covered in it.
And that was very early in the day.

Looks like you had fun Neil.
Been there a few times on the MTB. Great trails and a great overnight camp spot.
Might need the P3 tip in my 2 Brothers if I head down there!
Any complaints about the Big Gun?
