Gday, Went out for a ride sunday morning with PeteW, buzzbro & priesty at location *********** (not telling!) Wink after good falls of rain overnight the & steady light rain in the morning it was wet!. Keen 2 hit the trails we set out & within a minute we were in morning gridlock with a group of 4wds. After the we got past the "peak trafic" we got underway & with a lack of traction, it was the order of the day with the constant battle 2 keep the quads straight. We did a few hill climbs & tackled a few rutted out trails/hills which made for interesting riding with in a couple of places having a stream of water flowing down them , the puddles were everywhere & a few that we hit seemed more like dams, at one point i had full vision then the next i had a wall of orange clay coloured water everywhere around me. buzzbro & preisty had a great run & a bit of a workout. Turns out that they dont usually tackle the rutted or bumpy stuff & i think they also said water, mud & slippery conditions werent a part of there normal riding but they have big grins on there faces by the time we got back 2 the cars. As the morning progressed the rain started 2 really come down hard & keeping good vision through our goggles became a big problem & after a while 2 of us thought it was easier just 2 ride without them. All in all a good ride & with a few beers & a big lunch at the local pub we had a great day, so we r hoping the rain continues 2 fall so more rides were as good as sundays....JB
