Toolangi Trip 30th of May 2015

[Rossco]

We met some dirt bike riders on that blowhard track, man those guys do it tough when it's clay steep hills!

They were trying to walk their bikes down the hill, dropping the bikes, sliding down and then trying to pick their bikes up knee deep in crap!

Credit to them though, hitting some decent tracks!

I watched a lot of "fancy" dirt bike riders at yarra glen car car wash rock up with a sprinkle of dust on their tyres.

Yeah that was funny. One of them said we were crazy trying to drive up. I said they are crazy, sliding and pushing their way through. . They were doing it pretty tuff. . .

Yes big thanks to Chantal Luke.

Those bikers were struggling especially the bloke that had the one that wasn't running, I had turned around and was heading back down right behind, he was trying so hard to keep out of the mushy ruts and was doing pretty well until it a bit narrow up the top and his bike just slid straight into the rut. you see see how peeeeed of he was he was just shaking his head, you could see he was so close to just dropping it and jumping up and down on it.

I am also in the process of loading mine up, I gave up trying last night.

Far out I have just got off the Phone with a bloke I work with, I saw them on the side of the Melba hwy yesterday just as we came out. He reckons they got royally F$@%!& up by the rain. they only got out of there at 2am, they went in with I think he said 9 cars and came out with 3. From what I can make out it was pretty much the first track, they went in the way we came out but I describe rocky track to him and he said it wasn't that one, he said it was sloshy clay stuff with some boulders in places. I don't think it was from lack of experience they just got caught out on a track when the rain came down and it just turned to s#$%. One lost brakes, another wouldn't start anymore, he nearly burnt out his 12000lbs warn and fully drained his batt, they are going back in to try and get the rest of the cars out if the conditions are better.
I am so glad we got out of there when we did.
