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!
