Trail Day
You're not meant to ride down Devines Hill of course, only up it. Reckon you'd be better off Riding up Shepherds and all the way to the Buddist temple for some water (you could have already filled up at St Albans), then up to Clairs Bridge and a bit further before turning round and rocketing down WCT to the end.
Or you could scum all the way to the bottom of WCT from St Albans, getting water at the ferry before heading up WCT and on to Clairs Bridge.
Either way, sounds a bit of a physical challenge. Shame it's trail maintenance that day!
Shame..
... I can't make it (yeah right, as if!)
Track maintenance for me as well.
Damn
I have a hair appointment that day.
I'll see if I can cancel, but don't wait for me.
Ha ha...are you serious?
A hair appointment...Isn't that a female excuse?
Of course I'm serious
And I'm having my nails done as well
Which is why I don't really want to cancel the appointment
It took me ages to get the booking
And I've broken so many nails lately they look a fright
Andy
Didn't you come very close to becoming a girl by accident?
That's true
Damn mountain biking
So hard on nails (amongst other thing)
Like The Ad Says
"Because You Are Worth It"
Don't let the naysayers put you off ... it never hurts to look good!
Love to join but......
I'm sure I have something on that day. Now where is my calendar ??
Evan
Idea....
Might do this ride but have a slower second group for anyone interested.
Cheers
Ev
I would be interested but
I would be interested but the Manly Dam trail maintenance is on the same day.
Buggar!
Sounds like it's gonna be a goodie... Damn connecting flight in Perth... supposed to be a direct flight there and back and now have to spend 9 hours Perth on the 30th!
OK, you got me...
Bum.. just checked my calender.. can't make it after all....
Frigging Flu
I've been battling a flu all week so, pulling the pin on this ride for me
.
Have fun boys.
Ev
Soooooo?
Prey tell... how was this epic?
Excellent ride
The ride was excellent, we started the ride in the same direction as a couple of weeks ago, had our first real stop at the bottom of Devines hill were we refilled with drink. The climb up the Western Commission track is a killer, makes Andos look like a little pinch hill but looking forward to doing it again before DW.
All up distance was only between 70-80km but without any real rest breaks.
Thanks to Steve for organising.
