started out at Maccas at Waitara, then through galston gorge, to wisemans ferry, then up to somerset, and back down the old pacific Hwy. it took alllllll day with all the stops.

Dave#3 must've been really keen to try the wets, i saw him and thought "crazy bastard, must be keen for a oph ride in this weather"

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Good to hear you had fun Wattie sometimes its worth doing stuff like that to better your skills ...... can remember a training day at the creek years ago & it started to piss down everyone was packing up & the track was empty... me & a mate decided to put in a few hot laps in the rain for practice & had a ball
nothing like pushing it to the limits..... found mine in turn 3 with an almighty lowside & slid a long long way... minimal damage to the bike thank god....... but a worthwile lesson at the end of the day :D
