Well, things got off to a great start.
There were about a dozen of us that showed up at the Timmie's in Timberlea and
after saying hello to some new and old faces we were on our way by 10:00.
We had our first casualty by 10:30. Jason404 was taking some photos of us
and while catching up to the pack something malfunctioned with the carb or
throttle cable and it sent him into the woods with bike landing on top. On top
of his collar bone that is. When we realized he was missing we went back to
see what was wrong and we found Jason "The Friendly Ghost" waiting for the
colour to return to his face. Yep, broken collar bone. I hope the poor lad can
still type as we need him to keep the forum up and running.
Neil was kind enough to sacrifice his day's riding to go and get the truck to
bring Jason and bike home. That'll earn ya a free coffee for sure, thanks M8.
Once that was settled, we decided to keep on with the ride, Jason would
have wanted us to. ;-)
Typical Jimmy's terrain but I thought there would have ben more water to deal
with. We separated into two groups, one went to the vehicles and the other went to
Thumpers for some "wobbly pops". Along the way we found some water. Deep
water. KLR swallowing water. Lefty almost endoed but caught it at the last
second, awesome job of saving it Jon. Thumper wasn't so lucky.
All in all a good day but we are thinking about Jason and his road to recovery.
Heal soon my friend.
Till next time.
