We will Rue The Day….
The wed nite ride was close to the old standard that built it's reputation. The King was fresh and that meant his "steady" or "medium" was actually a firm ride. Several hitouts left the bunch busted and strung out.
The interesting thing is, some hitouts were intentional and others just happened. With the likes of Ferg, Slasher, Mick,Ray and Chris taking turns it was never going to be a doddle.
Good efforts were made by Brad, Paul and Dom to maintain contact. Here is a free tip from the Zulu, When you are surrounded by hitters - the only work you should do is to just hang on.
The attendance was great, with enough riders to leave me wondering how many there was, which brings me to the comment - We will Rue the Day.
The ride had more Roos than I could tally. Probably somewhere between 10 and 20. It seems inevitable that the crash will come. There has already been a collision between a Roo and Fergs. Fortunatly, the Roo picked Ferg, who is built like a front rower and has a calm and even temperment.
So, be aware and think twice about bombing down the back of River Ranch or Haddock at full noise. This year it seems like the Magpies have taken 2nd place to the Roos. I would gladly take the magpie clacking at my ear over a kangaroo on my lap any day.
