As the start point for the pre maintenance ride is Cootamundra Drive - anyone (I guess not doing maint) up to starting at the hydraulic lab early enough to meet the pre maintenance ride at 8am and have this ride as a 2nd lap?
Im up for a lap or 2 after the first if any one not doing maintenance is up for that... cant get there early enough otherwise..

sorry, have to bail too.. yesterday pretty much finished me off.
Nice to see Ben out on the new steed. All very clean and shiny.
Not so for me.
The dam was as wet as I have ever seen. Lots of standing water and the run down to the creek was ankle deep mud. Yes I managed to find my way into this after another bad line for the day. First foot down wasn't too bad then sploosh, mud well past the ankle. So spent some time at the bottom in the creek washing off mud.
Was not in my best form today
Oh, look out for some of the boarded sections. They are very slippery now that the sand has nicely polished them smooth. Had a very exciting and spectacular stack (no damage) heading down to the big rock at the golf course. Complete two wheel drift with no braking! Back wheel eventually overtook the front.

Yep it sure was very wet in some sections. The bog going down to the creek was massive. People have started making a new line up on a raised ledge on the left of the muddy section.
Fortunately I stopped in time to avoid the bog. Then proceeded to the creek to start laughing at Craig who was cleaning himself and bike. His wheels was covered in mud well past the rims. Was quite amusing
