Regular Daisy Hill Wednesday morning ride

Quote: becca

Hi, hoping to come out again on Wednesday (will sneak out the house before anybody notices!) hopefully it's dried up loads and we can hit the single track again!

Went through Daisy this morning. There was only a couple of puddles in the lower areas and very little mud. Didn't ride Possum and Turning jap is closed for maintenance. As long as it doesnt rain before Wednesday it should be ok.

Ride is ON

Maybe fire roads again this weeks if we do get rain but radar showing rain is going around us and likely to miss DH. So far no rain here. We may be lucky enough to have dry tracks.

I got 3 drops of rain over here.

Looking great for a ride tomorrow after a few hot days to dry out Daisy Hill.

LOL, the front parted and spared Daisy Hill. What luck!

I had a great ride this morning. Thanks to all of you who showed up, for the great atmosphere.

Motivation is back!

To those reading the thread and thinking of coming along, this "just after dawn" ride is the coolest time of day, a great way to beat the summer heat. So come and join us.

Yep also had a great ride this morning always worth getting up for - quiet along the trails with just the clattering and sound of wheels on a mainly dry track 09dance2

Ride is on for any starters tomorrow, hopefully all tracks will be good but could resort to fire troads if needed.

In km/hr or words spoken per minute??

It's very social usually. The group reforms at junctions (for a long chat) and always waits for everyone

Sorry, can't make it again - wifey getting back from UK at 0640hrs. Next week maybe, otherwise see some of you at the Summer Series on Sunday.

Was very good to be out on the trails again this morning. No MaxR, he sent his apologies via Gordy.

Jaman (on the cyclocross bike!!), Becca, Gordy, and Christine (Kik!), a visitor from Townsville, & myself set out from the Underwood Rd carpark. About halfway up Possum Box we met Chris coming the other way.

So we had a group of six, as we set off on the usual route towards the top of Wiry Panic.

A steady pace, along trails with the occasional puddle. There is plenty of seepage on the fireroads. The single tracks are in pretty good condition, only a few mud patches in the odd low spot.

At various times Gordy and then Chris left us. And by the time we got back to the five-ways Jaman had a slow leak in the front tyre of the cx bike. It is still amazing to watch him pilot that thing around the singletrack. I followed him down Stonehenge and although he said it was slow, it didn;t seem slow to me. And not a wheel out of place.

So eventually it was just Christine, Becca and me who made it back to Underwood Rd. Thanks all for a good ride!

Pleased to see you made it out in the morning.

I was considering it, but didn't want to undermine Valentine's day with preparing for a ride and getting an early night.

See you there next week.
