Three days, Three Rides, St James and Amuri

Spent 3 nights off the grid (hence no Map-my-...) at the St James Homestead. First was a short there and back with Jet, up to Peters Pass and back, at his pace, on the Homestead Run.

Second was a loop and a bit. Up the road towards Lake Tennyson, left up the Edwards and down to Peters Pass (where I'd ridden the day before), then I dropped down a steep technical horses track to the Edwards Valley and along a km or two, then turned around and headed back up the 4wd grunt climb, and back down to Peters and speed back to base.  This ride was about 20 kms all told, with maybe 300 metres climbed?

Third was up and back on the Amuri/Hanmer Springs Ski Area road. Steep fucker. 1 hour 15 up, 13 minutes down. Wind was so strong I had to walk a few times to stay on the road.  Descent was well fast.  Around 7 kms each way, and around 660m climbed.
