Flat Coastal Dirt

Mark and I rode the flat track from Wooyung to North Wall Brunswick River Today. I used the old Peak MTB and it was OK although a few sandy gear changes occured without shifting and sometimes required a double shift to obey the command. Only light drizzle on occassion. Not much wind, blowing from the N-NNE.

The Dirt track

The rough terrain, old Rutile and Zircon(?) sand  mining road from the 60's was closed to cars in the late 80's so only bikes,walkers and motor-bike(not legally) use the track, crossing a few rock and pipe barricades.

Phone Camera  used to capture the turn-around point at the Training Wall. Showing the thin cloud. Started out at 1620 and got home at 1930. A bit slow but a lot of side to side and up and down about a meter in each direction around and through the large washed out "puddles" every 10-20metres. So lots of zig-zag in 3D, though NO Hills!

I'll see how my first daylight ride, since xmas affects my skin. It was late on an overcaste day so I hope....
