Couple rides today
First one with the family. Looped all around the place, with T and H performing very well. Covered a lot of ground. Trails are all much better signed than they were last time I rode in here, making it much easier to find your way around. The cleared bits are getting more trails through too. Mostly I used Trailforks for guidance, which was helpful.
So... First off, along the water race, then up Hepi's Highway, into Herring Bone, onto Mining Claim and along this to Sluice Alley. Back at the water race, on around this just back to Translator Rd, up here, then on down it continuing across to Blue Man, down this to the end, and right on the waterrace, dropping down through the siphon zone and up again, around past Hoffmans dam, and entering Oddfellows, which wasnt really there, climbing, walking up to the ridge where we picked up Thos Foster, riding down this to Buster Gut, and getting onto Undaunted for the fun descents and non-fun climby bits - all these last few in the open grounds. H and T were pretty much done, so we headed back around the Waterrace to the swimming dam, and on a little bit further. They dropped down Collarbone Alley, and O and me took Flumes, catching them at the bottom. Then it was down through town back to base. Overall, we did 14 kms, with a couple hundy climbed.
Then Otie and me got out for another quick spin. We rode up Hogburn, Broom Rd, up all the way around and to top of Hepi's Highway, then into the top of Wall St for an excellent bomb down, swoopy swoopy, out to, eventually, the waterrace again, down the end by the siphon. Then we finished off below this on Moonscape - tho I took a high line to start with and ended up quite a way over from O. Then we went up Hydraulic Uplift, but bailed out at Strode Ave, rolling down this to home. Was a fun wee spin. Only 5.88kms this time, with a measly 130m climbed.
