in the end, it was the chase of the Flat Track Jack as we crashed through the bat cave trail which uncerimonously dumps us near the exit waypoint...the bat cave trail is complete with non-grippy pine straw that at speed will not allow you to:

A.) change directions without rear steering one's way in and out of the mess to come,
B.) or, stop in time for a good tree wacking if you are not pointed in the correct direct.

...in view, witness loads of nature in the periphery speeding on by, whilst in focus, Jack has a go at ducking below branches fallen without regard to our pleasentries nor the about to be smacked photo - grapher bringing up the rear...

in all, another superb day of ride, with the lads on full bore wheeling, whisking, and a bit of wimping (snort snort)...or has been said thousands of time to the wind, another GREAT ESSCAPE indeed...
