EAR rideout from Red Lodge to Perry
 

The most important thing to do when turning up is to test out the breakfast, yummy.

Then it's off to our next stop for food, drinks and a natter. Here are the bikes.

ArtyLady then went her own way but we were then joined by Sosha (far right of the image).

Sean and BigBadDad plan on which is the best way to get us lost again.

About half way between the above stop and our finishing stop we come across a young lad that had come off his bike going road a bend. We all stopped and tried to help in anyway we could. The paramedics come and it looked majority like road rash. His very protective T-shirt and trousers didn't do anything to help

Then the worst possible thing to happen. Sean (the leader) decides to use his on road bike for a spot of off road action but the bike comes off worse.

This is the bend he went straight on at.

I personally think Sean (left of the above image) come off very lucky. On the left there is a barbed wire fence, in the centre next to Pete is a ditch he jumped and on the right is that metal barrier. He missed it all and ended up in the undergrowth.

The bike.

The new style of lunge, the crashed bike lunge.

Then onto our final stop at Perry.

The video footage to come at a later date when I get it all edited. Overall the day was great. The roads we awesome and Sean's leading was great until the above. Roll on the next one.

Re: EAR rideout from Red Lodge to Perry
