misty drizzle greeted us at Sumner. Headed up Capt Thomas, with the rocks slick from the moisture and the dirt just damp enough to stick to the tires a bit, but not too badly. good ride most of the way up. then headed out godley. very tricky on the rockier sections, but good riding most of the way. flew down the downs to the first of the cols, where Pete got a flat so we sheltered under a rock as the rain got heavier there... next section was good to Breeze col and weather lightened up a bit so we continued out to the end, then back round the single below the road to the col again, then down Anaconda, which was sweet. i chased Pete down and was pretty steady with him, then we all sidled along on the newly mown trail that skirts above the walking track but is unrideable mostly for now, extremely off camber. then a mellow climb out of Taylors and down through Nicholson. caught excellent air off the little boatshed/garages on across from Scarborough slipway. coffee at dotcom.
Forks spectacular. loving every minute of riding with them
