Tues night 20/5/08 FREO

Meet at South Beach Cafe at 6:30pm then fang around Manning Park a couple of times dodging those big spiders that hang in the middle of the trails in the evening. Lights are helpful for spotting the spiders.

DOH

Already doin' Goat Farm tomorrow- but I'll be up for it next week?.. Or Thurs?

Ah yes, the Goat Farm

I should get up there myself before the weekend, probably Friday. The Manning Park ride will most likely be on next week too.

Quiet ride...

...one rabbit, one spider. A little bit of pruning = one broken pair of secateurs.

FUN

but was it fun

Manners please....

I'm in for this week,
I've been out of town... is it getting dark around 630ish ???
Can we make it 6?

Sure thing.

Especially since you really started this night ride. I'll post it up.

6 it is then

I'm hoping to meet you guys there. Probably won't be able to keep up, but Manning Park is my local riding area, so with luck I'll get shown a few new tracks (and maybe pass on some I know of).

Cheers,
Graeme

Nice ride.

Thanks for the ride tonight people. I had a ball.

Hope you all got home without too many flats.

Cheers,
Graeme

Yep, it was good fun

I'll post up another for next week. Mike went through six tubes! How about we skip that last little track next time?

DOUBLE GEEEEEEZZZZZZ

OMG! I couldn't even make it home on my last tube. They should be renamed "Double Fs" haha

Did Mike end up taking the train back to Osborne Park?

Thanks for the tour, Objet :)

Yes thanks Objet for the

Yes thanks Objet for the tour, it is a great local track :)

I swear I had some Double Gees in my front tyre but looked this morning and there is just a bit of mud stuck between my knobs.

Poor MIke I didn't envy him riding home on a patched tube with 10 of those things poking it.. eeek.

Watch for future punctures.

You may find the spikes are still in there. The bodies of the double-gees break off when you get on the road, leaving the pricks behind.

Thanks guys/girls

It was a pleasure, once we got into the rhythm of things. I have posted up next week's ride and linked a little map too. Looking at it reminded me of a fun section that we didn't do this week, I'll have to check it out in daylight for those pesky double-gees.
Feel free to PM me with your email for a big version of the map.

See you on the 3rd!
