Mustering of the bikes.

Pointing out where Hans is.. Before dicing to go next. The pic lies as usually.. really steep and you need to keep up your momentum.

Again camera lies.. Perched here while the guys clear the ruts and rocks ahead.. can't put the stand down.
Jammed up again the tree to stop the bike running away down the hill.. 3 goes to get traction again after getting back on the bike..

Luke rode in to the rut.. Just as he managed to get the bike out..
It ran away from him. .He stopped it after 4 steps back and just before taking me out
It is steep... I yell.. STOP..

They look like some seriously steep hills mate. Must have been hard work in the heat.

That was a tough ride. So much dust.
Coughed for two days.

Not looking forward to the fast approaching hot season. 7 am starts and finish by 2 or 3 latest.
