Strathbogie ride from big Al's kicked off at 9.30am with 6 riders.The first incident was Ken _obison taking a soil sample in Al's enduro loop on his property.I had asked Ken _obison what happened mate Ken replied"I lost the front end."I said gee new tyres & all,take note not to buy the same front tyre as ken.
From there into the bogies,the tracks were dry & dusty.Making our way into swanpool for lunch & refuel.Got lunch but no fuel,they had run out due to the extra long weekend trade.Al managed to buy some 25 lt's of the some guy on his way home.Who had also stopped for lunch.
From there back into bogies on way back to merton.We came across along rutted hill & Ken _obison proved that even at the age of 60 something,he can still get it up(the hill of course).
The whole group moved along very well with a total of 185 km's for the
day.Thanks for the bbq at the end Big Al.
Bike maintence issues were Ken's bike losing the rear brake push rod.
