Have you been wondering why "Thunder" or "Zulu" are hammering on the Dirty Rats Sunday morning social ride? This is the answer! Search no more, see us in store today to get yours...
...as Wade would say, "Come out." Read the full review on the Trek Fuel EX 29 here...

The Sunday Sessions
Well the Sunday roadie ride started out exactly the same as the Saturday morning ride - a flattie within 1k of leaving the start. Snapper thought he was at the Nitro Circus try outs and was jumping all over the road to avoid the hole.... or maybe he was just being mindful of his nice new steed and didn't want any first week bingles??
Croz was in charge of the flat tyre change - no instructions needed today Caro! Might I say though that I think the instructions are a mighty good idea for newbie riders (and those that don't ride with their own mechanics) however, you may want to leave out the "squeal like a girl" part when you use the gas cylinder - that was a little embarrassing Croz!!
Unfortunately for us, there was no coffee shop to pull up at in Goondoon Street at 5:30am so we had to change the flat and ride on. I can honestly tell you that I was looking around pretty darn hard for that coffee shop too.

The Summer Sunday
It was a small, but "quality" bunch of riders that rolled out yesterday morning on the Sunday roadie ride - everyone even managed to have their knicks on the right way, which was a great start to the day!
Frenchie was in heaven, thinking it was a lovely summer's day rolling along in just a summer jersey and giving us all a lesson in French at the coffee shop..... "Cul-De-Sac" will never have the same meaning ever again!
The Dirty Rats lived up to their name, arriving at Craig's completely covered in mud, doing skin-fold fat tests and sporting one smashed phone screen and a broken derailleur - there's never a dull moment in the Rat Pack.
The 8:00am L Plate ride had a good turn out, complete with Mick B and Coach Carter making a prayer to the Trail Gods before the start - just kidding, they were just doing some stretching laying all over the grass. The group split into two after a lap around Wendy's with the new riders staying on Wendy's for a lesson with Coach Carter and the not so new riders heading up for a lap around the Sunshine track - complete with an Over-The-Handlebar-Dismount by Zulu.... more coaching needed perhaps Zulu???

The Trailmakers
With Tom's track freshly whipper snipped and groomed, Hef and I snuck out for a quick lap around the track this morning.... Just near the ride-thru car wreck we came across this. We must remember that without the Trailmakers and Maintainers we would have no awesome tracks to ride, no bridges to scuttle across, no hairpins to master and no logs to fall off - all hail the Trailmakers & Maintainers I say!
Don't forget the L Plate MTB ride on Sunday morning at 8am leaving from Choice Petroleum near Sun Valley. If you've been afraid of the first Wahoo boy after the rollers on the way to Wendy's, be afraid no more - there's a cool new side track that will keep you upright and rubber side down!
