That's both pronunciations of windy...
A week out in the bush, walking 10-15 kms each day off-track through usually wet forest. Nice to get out and ride again, and all that walking seemed to helped my stamina, or something.
After work last night, Nelsie picked me up usual Countdown Carpark and we headed and parked at top of Huntsbury, Headed up, and hung a left, over Vernon, through the clusterfuck that is Rapaki-top, around Witch Hill, onto the walking track above the road (they cant actually put No Bikes on that, cos it's in the Public Road Reserve... Up to Castle Rock and a good run down this, me in the lead, then from Bridle Path top took the singletrack climb up around the knoll, then down to the saddle and up around to the Tors track. Bombed down this and cleaned all the droppy bits but not the up-and-over bits, then back onto the walking track above the road, excellent cruise down this and back onto Witch Hill. Tiresome climb, good bomb down. Straight through Rapaki-top again, no stopping, and into the Vernon climb which hurt. Then across Traverse and into the new descender down to Old Skool 4wd start, across landing strip, over fence, down jumpy Huntsbry and back to the car...
15 or so kms with 620 m of gain
