Morgan again?? Just got the word can we use it again, NO WORRIES!!

[Chops]

Yeah I think most options are out with this wet weather, I've been put off jams as I was told it's a bit average for bikes with teeny wheels!

 

[stoozo]

Yeha not too sure, i havent been oput there for a while, i mowed it about 2 weeks ago, i dont get home each night till 645 so too dark to sus, ill trya and look soon and see what its like, its good dirt, but can be very slippery when wet, but good fun

Nah the BOM is just scared, this weather will be gone by the weekend....seriously, the Blizzard is over and it will clear up until Friday with patchy rain. We'll get something local to ride!! What are you scared of getting your new plastics all muddy tigger??

 

[Chops]

No I'm just not gonna waste my time if I can't ride a full day, at a good pace without having to tip toe everywhere like the bottom half of morgan.

 

[GooseMan]

gonna be f***en windy too mate, any videos you take will be all wind noise, 14 degrees plus wind chill is pretty chilly unless your a POM, besides, might be getting a brand spankin new bike this weekend or the next..... Wouldn't mind riding on a track, never done that before....
Doesn't Jams also have a trails riding area??

Yep this front coming through is the one the victorians are worried about. But it should still hit hard here.

Wow what a ****ty day for a ride....Blue sky, bit of cloud has drizzled twice since 10am.....Im pretty close to giving up on this gig might just start hanging around with Sneezy and the boys who actually want to ride....1-5mm forecast at Morgan....5mm of rain, that wont even register in the rain guage. Backyard time!!

 

[stoozo]

2 hrs north.....rain is a pass up there.....2.4mm in Morgan this whole week....this is why when it used to rain in Adelaide we'd do a road trip to victor park with the BMXs....9 times out of 10, 60km from Adelaide in any direction and hte weather will be better as the Mt Lofty ranges will catch most of it and its barren on the other side.... :hache:

There isn't a weather station in morgan so localised falls are'nt to accurate, they get there data from elsewhere just like weatherzone and the bom.

Get out the house, go for a drive with the bike in the back and if you find somewhere great, if not you've had a nice drive.:first:

**** that its cold and windy....plus my ski jacket is in the wash, could use my other one though, nah petrol is to expensive to aimlessly drive around hoping someone else will crash into my ute and dent it up some more... :thumbup:

lucky i didn't say yeah we were going,
Cj was home from school yesterday sick, he was up most of the night from thursday evening with Croup.
he's still crook now, and it's really hard keeping him inside as you'd know!

Make him wear some freaking clothes then. He was running around the other day in a t-shirt and its 15 degrees if it wasnt blowing 20km/hr winds, which makes it about 5 degrees....I think CJ is out of weekend trips until he gets older, with his health honestly, he'll hate me for it but it is what it is...yeah I dunno Im pretty close to giving up really, I put time and effort into this and no one really seems to get that either....I know you do a lot for miniriders Craig but organising rides in SA is really like hitting your head on a brick wall all day....I used to go skiing and camp 10km from the top of the Mtn in a tent, grew up playing footy, not so much fun in shorts and no sleeves in sideways rain for 2hrs, have to run to the sidelines to get someone to tie up your shoe laces for you cause your fingers are locked solid...This is drizzle....thats just how I think, weather has never got in the way of me having a good time, I guess I figure people who ride dirt bikes are the same.....maybe BMX at the concrete skate park is out in the rain, ive tried its worse than ice....but motorbikes designed to ride off road???

 

[stoozo]

I guess I wouldnt have got a $120 camping chair for $15 at Lions mart today if we went....not that I had the $15 but we needed a toaster too, so $20 for both!



So its pretty much this, no head rest...but not a problem. Might need some elastics fixed soon but also not a problem!!
