Better than no ride at all!

hehehe

Yep it's overcast......... I'm off to Phillip Island with a mate for the first time and it's predicted overcast next weekend too..
gona enjoj it anyhow..

poor wattie if its anything like it is down here is the gong, i feel sorry for you.
i was tempted to brave it just to get in some final kms before tuesday, but no thanx i dont want to get pneumonia before gp.

It was a wet old ride down the OPH hey wattie

I figured I'd better test out my wets before next weeks trip to PI - they worked, and it was wet

yeah would have been shite today, here's a reminder I found of better times

it was F%#king wet!! we even got the hail.
but i actually enjoyed the ride.
about 10am, my feet were soaked and my crotch, and by the time i saw you dave, i was wet from the chest to my toes...
but i learnt lots of good techniques which im sure you will all hear about next time we ride

where were you riding? i was up around your area today :O.... it was only a LITTLE damp


thank god for rainproof stuff, only the front of my legs were wet

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"

wasnt a ride organised on here, kind of a private thing

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
