Nelson had 3 uplifts to use and I had a couple left on my card and was needing to buy a new 10 lift before they ran out. We met at the park, me quite hungover from a Camel Cottage party, and not having managed breakfast (dropped it, breaking the plate on the way out the door, and spilling hot coffee all over my tum-tum) and barely drank any of the coffee...
Up the lift we went. Taking it easy first run, straight into Yeah yeah nah, which was okay, then into Lord of the Possums. Mostly a good run down here, good jumps on most, clearing them smoothly, tho one nearly toppled me over forward. Bottom of this and we were into Handle the Jandal. Handled this very nicely, excellent boost on most jumps, tho one close call where the jump landed me into the inside of a corner rut/drain that I just managed to not quite get into.
Straight into the next lift, me wanting to puke on the way up, but managing to keep it down. This time trying out the tech. Into Throw the Goat, Nelson doubling everything, me taking bunny lines. I thought there was an 'escape route' from Throw the Goat across to Swingers Party before Yoda, but no, there's not (only the 4wd part way down) and so we ended up dropping down Yoda, which proved to be actually extremely fun. Cleaned everything, albeit all the "easy" lines (they're not that 'easy' but all rideable). Then across and into DOHC for a boosty fun blast trailing in Nelson's dust, but keeping him in check.
My ticket had run out so went and got some kai, Nelson kindly shared some of his free burger with me, and I managed a hangover-curing smoothy (oats, banana, ginger... good!). Down to get a new pass, and we hit our third lift of the day. Took Summit Connector, and dropped into the Nun via the bottom droppy section of Gnarly Nun, excellent blast down here, and then a speeding Choir Boy / Old Dyers, overtaking a couple down here, and hoofing up to Capt Cooker, and straight into Shredzillaville for an excellent trip down. I cleaned everything again, and stuck to the non-'easy' lines, no problems!
All up a nice run, and didnt bother with MMR, so there's no proof other than my memory. Estimating about 1200 or more metres of descent.
