The Optrex Tour - one not to be sneezed at - 12th May '09


The ride report is up. There may be more photos to follow if Hampster can get them to me.

Hard luck all you people that had to work yesterday is all I can say.

Good day out despite the dust - amazing how dry it is considering its not even summer yet. Stark contrast to last years monsoon.

I feel obliged point out that Mike was only wrestling with a fallen tree to teach it a lesson after it assaulted me on the way past first. Nasty pointy thing, it inserted itself through a bit of wiring by my left fork, breaking my speedo sensor cable, before passing dangerously close to the family jewels, finally stabbing me behind my right knee - 1 lost bit of skin and a healthy looking bruise were the result. I'd have stopped and given it some myself, but Mike seemed to have it under control.

Well, I bet you rotten lot didn't give those of us who were keeping the country's benefits system going a second thought!. Tim and Mike both having problems on the same ride?. I'm almost glad I was at work! Hi Roger and Brian, thanks for taking this rabble away from home, try to keep them longer next time.

Good report Andy, less painful than being there, and I enjoyed the pics Andy and Brian......and Rogerbiggrinbiggrin

Bob.
