Lesson 1 for off road newb

Note to self
"do not take GSA down a road of sand on your own"

I found out today that my GSA loves to dig holes in the sand. It's a friggin heavy beast !,,,

At least you could apply the bike lifting technique you learnt at Kirup :lol:

Next time swing by Catalanos and pick up some bike lifters or support 8)

I will be going on a ride next Sunday after brekky at Cats n the hills. We'll do an "Introduction to gravel & dirt in them Perth hills" ride. No steep hills, no deep sand, no tight corners and no very loose gravel.

We may even make it to York for early lunch. I haven't been there for months.

Feel free to join.
