Thanks Phil and tailman Mark, or was that thanks Mark and tailman Phil as you guys seemed happy to mix it up a bit.
Best ride yet, I particularly liked the fact that Phil swapped leader roles with Mark just before he promptly sent the group up the 'Rocky Garden(?)' only to stop and turn around himself.
A few made it all the way..a few including myself didn't - but enjoyed the challenge nonetheless.
Also big thanks to Mark and the two others (sorry - don't have all the names) for helping me extract my DR650 'pig' from the last rise in the 'Rocky Garden' once my clutch gave up and told me you can just 'Go F&$k Yourself'.
Well organised Phil - & always good fun. Notable quotes:
* Phil: 'Yeah - just a one hour loop' [3 hrs later...]
* Mark: 'This is the worst of it - flat fire trails from here' ... [stated just before we turned a bend and found the next 1km vertical rise of rocks and mud!!!...]
Cheers
