plush new front end. VicKiwiNunThomTravOldskoolOut

Beautiful is all i can say... Vanilla = Tasty. Starting at my folks (top of Cashmere) bout 2pm tired and a bit hung from Ngaio's wedding, headed up into Vic park, then from ranger station, down through the trails to the Old Dyers Pass Rd trail crossing, cruised along and up that to the Kiwi, hot in the sun out of the wind, trying out the lock out once or twice, tweaking the low speed and the rebound a little too, then up road from kiwi to top of Marley's, watching some dude's coming down the section below the road, saw one guy have an incident bollocking himself, i holla'd, "thats gotta hurt", continued on up, then bombed it down the Flying Nun, very very good control, blissful plushness and responsiveness and tracking control down the lower section, popping out at the Kiwi. then up Thomson's track to top of Vic, stopping in the shade at one stage, cleaned to the top, then headed round the traverse, cruising nicely, relishing the psshhht every time the fork rebounds, then headed down the Old Skool Bowenvale, my old favourite. cleaned everything, pinned all the dodgy bits, smoooooooth, then out the bottom of Bowenvale, and toodled home.
