Straight from work, parked up top end of Bowenvale Ave and rode back down this, left, right, left into Holliss. Stopped up the first corner and lubed my chain which was sounding rather dry. Then into the steep going, grinding up the road to the top, and into the steps, which I rode down for the first time ever. Don't know what I was ever so cautious about... Brief roll, then up the first steps, and then up more steps, resorting to carrying the bike on some of them. Then, across Longhurst Pl into the singletrack climb, cleaned all but one of the hairpins higher up under the houses. Good ride the rest up to the stile. Then the barbed-wire roots track up to the dog park, cleaning more of the rocks than I'd have expected, then and up thru Vic Park, through the skidder site, and up K2 climbing up to and through Brake Free finally all the way to the top. 6pm here.
Down thru a few of the Brake Free jumps, then back out and down to rock garden, into the Gummies, usual left on my fave, and rocking on through back to the Skidder. Into Shazza's, bermy bermy jumpy jumpy, and down into Sneaky Ridge for a nice bomb down the rocks and jumps and oaks, over onto Bridges, and the Nu, back and forth into the valley bottom. 6.10pm here.
Into the climb up Hidden Valley bonus, cleaning it all, climbed into Old Skool for a fun last descent which went quite well, and spat me out the bottom back to the car before 6.30. Very warm...
Another 10km loop (like Sunday), with 396 m climbed. Hot stuff.
