Sweet ride today with Nelson and Pete. 8.30 or so pick-up from mine... Jetted up and parked at the usual 'Lake' Janet, and got toodling up the road for a start. Pete's first blood appeared when his leg caught the warratah at the gate. Turned off into the singletrack, stopping to clear some branches, then hitting the steeeeeeeeeeeep. Gasping, no asthma remedy so gasping all the way. Pete had a tumble getting going on one of the stretches, heels over head below the track, blooding his leg good for the second time. Got to the lookout and some walkers turned up. Got riding again, up the singletrack, best way to the top. Up, pretty much in the clouds by this point
Dropped in and the down was magnifique. Stopped and Pete went ahead and got the drone up, pulling in some footages, and onwards down, meeting some walkers on their way up. Into the forest and switchback city. All getting better and betterer the further we descended. Somewhere along the way Pete blooded his nose on a lawyer too. I led a lot of the lower stuff, all the way out to the end. Nice. Another drone flight over the river and then we were off up the road back to the car.
Usual couple hours, 665 m climbed, in 13.35 kms...
