Nice ride pity about OTB

Its so wet, so decided to take to the road on the Giant. Did a loop down to Manly, Cabbage Bay, Curl Curl up Warringah rd, back to Forest. Really nice day to just coast along the beaches, but coming back up Warringah Rd is a bit tough.

Decided to cross Warringah Rd and bunny hop the gutter. These gutters are about twice your normal size. Got front over, but misjudged the rear and stopped dead and did a cartwheel over bars onto grass besides foot path. all in view of six lanes of traffic at set of lights.

Moral to story is those roads are dangerous, this would never have happened in the bush, at least not in front of 200 people.

I heard the rain will stop around May.

Those roads sure are dangerous Eye-wink

Lame clipstacks at traffic lights are worse, trust me. Then you have six lanes x 4 sides laughing at your stupidity Sticking out tongue

Fortunately that hasn't happened to me yet. Well, it's not something I'd be admitting to if it did. Eye-wink

Thought I'd do a loop into Newcastle, as the trails were too wet a few weeks ago and went OTB in a carpark. Landed on the ridiculously rough tar with no gloves. First thing I did was check anyone from the 5 story office block saw me! The bush way safer, quieter, more fun, less toxic......
