Title: Mt Dissapointment 28/07/10 L2 Post by: Peter r on August 28, 2010, 08,57:40 AM Drove up to Mt Dissa this morning and it was Quite Foggy and around 5Deg, I arrived there around 8.30 10 min later Seano arrived and before long the rest of the riders arrived.
We started out at 9.30 in the Fog, and headed into the sloppy and slippery tracks around the carpark, Jarrads bike didn't like the mud and deep holes but finally sorted it's self out, the fog then became light rain and was on and off all day, a lot of the tracks have been closed by the DSE (Department of Single Trail Eliminators)and a lot of the tracks and Bridges have not yet been Repaired, so at the moment good tracks are few and far between. With all riders hot on my heels i could now turn this into a Clubman ride and take them to some Clubman single trails n harder stuff. Anyway i took the gang down to the Gold Mine and dropped a few rocks down the Mine Shaft "Should of seen the looks on their faces when they realised how deep the Shaft is" and Rob Decided to take a group photo for the record. We rode into Strath Creek around 11.30 for some lunch n Refuel. After the bikes and us had been fed it was back on the bikes and time to explore, i managed to find a few good bog holes and ended up getting helped out by Sean and nearly filled in with Mud n Crap, i also managed to throw my bike away while doing a U turn and lost control of the Throttle and up n out she went, lucky these new Bikes have fuel injection, just press the Magic Button and away she goes. I headed over to the Grass hills and bumped into a couple of rides coming the other way but saw them in time and avoided a head on.After riding around all over the place we stopped and someone noticed Jarrads rear sprocket was Knackered and that put a bit of and end to the ride, so it was back to the cars around 4.00 and we all loaded up and drove home. Rider List: Peter Ross. Sean Douglas. " Mate has this guy improved in the last Year, I WOULD RECOMMEND HE KEEPS DOING THE HARDER RIDES, I THINK HE'S WELL ON HIS WAY TO BECOMING A GOOD CLUBMAN RIDER. Mark Salter. Rob Bates. Tailman Thanks Rob. Jarrad But. " Kick you in the Butt if you appear with that Rat Sh!t Sprocket again" Sascha Gerlieb.
