Slick black ice ride across to Steve's after rain and sleet finished at 2am and it cleared... good group, Steve, Pete, Andrew, Tony, Hubby, Wayne, Matt, English Mark and your's truly. headed up Rapaki, soggy and sapping a little. then at middle gate, headed up farmtrack onto Montgomery Spur. up to the trig marker, on snow mostly. quite cool. 
thats me, giving the stick...
thats me, giving the stick...good views from that knoll. must explore further down sometime, and find some sheeptrails back to the bottom of the 'paki. whilst up there we were joined by a fellow Switchback rider, running 32:18, white rigid single. back down to Rapaki and on up it. at the bottom of the straight there was a bunch of people and a guy down, in spaceblanket and coats, blood all over his face. the chopper came in before we made the Summit Rd. quite cool to see that too.
then on up the road to top of Farm track, and off piste snow riding down the ridge. brilliant! heaps of fun just drifting down on a really good snow surface, maybe 2 inches, but well packed and crunchy. picking lines and flowing. alllll goooood. eventually back onto the farm track, splattered our way down and muckily we went to cafe opposite St Martins New World.
no singletrack was harmed in the making of this ride...

Sweetcheeks,
I know who you are now. I saw you guys on Sunday morning frolicking in the snow. I can not moan about where you rode as it was all legal, except when you strayed off the track. But you were right it was hard packed. You were a bunch of dirty boys when you got off the hill I bet. Just how I like them.
BJ :}
And still i know not who you are... i am becoming suspicious tho.
show yourself.
Hi Sweetcheeks.
You saw me and you even spoke with me as you went up the hill. I would of ridden with you but I was kinda busy.
BJ.
What do you think the intials stand for. I do not know if you are really ready to know.!! But then maybe you are, after all you do like SWITCHBACKERS.
this is getting weird..
perhaps you were one of the people tending the guy who'd broken his face? or were you riding? or running?? i always say hello to most people i see...
