Yeah but I was hungover like a MF and missed most of the day. Went for the ride through an electrical storm Sunday option, with flash flooding and landslides.Lukeyboy wrote:Last Saturday was a scorcher. 36 degrees average on my GPS

I was quite optimistic and after each wet ride I would clean down and relube the bike... Then I gave up. Haven't ridden at all since Sunday even though the muscles felt no soreness or fatigue from that day's "effort".Dimma wrote:I might be wrong but I haven't ridden on a completely dry road for 3 weeks before this morning.

By which time most of the riders were back at the start and conversing over coffee
Admittedly we were all a bit damp because as soon as you get off the bike your shoes sink into the mud and wet.
And of course there was a lot of spray off the wet roads.
Hows this for an almost-dry road
and before the penultimate leg of the event - Ganthorpe Rd, which we were warned would be full of potholes and partially under water. Actually it was not too bad...
The drive back to Brisbane northside was quite hairy - lots of rain, surface water and the usual numbskull driving

Hadn't heard about this ride Elantra but looks good. Might join in with you next year.Got lucky this morning - attended the Chappy Challenge 65km ride in Boonah and the rain held off until almost 9am.

Mud guards were great. No spray in the face, no spray on the feet and no skunk mark up the back. Got home wet but clean, not muddy from the pot holed farm tracks I rode.
