Day trip to Akaroa so I scored a couple of 'more down than up' rides (as per...). On the Fatty.
First off, dropped off into the hell's teeth of a gale, along the Summit Rd from Okains top to LeBons top and over onto, for the first time ever, the Old LeBons Track. Double-fenced double-track, steep and fast, gated into 3 parts, of which one section had a lot of sheep, which stampeded ahead of me, impeding my view (and flinging the shit), then a rapid gravel road bomb to the bottom of the valley, down to Takamatua, across the main road then up the steep-arse Old French Road, over and down the Old Coach Road into Akaroa to find the fam. A sweet 15 kms, with 367 m climbed, but 850 m descended...
We did our thing there, then on our way home, they dropped me off at the saddle between the Little Ak and Okains catchments. I set off, climbing, little bit of walking, across the ridge then around the epic Totaras, to then enjoy the rapid descent, down View Hill Road to Chorlton, then the sealed road into Little Ak. A bit under 10 kms, with 100 m climbed, and around 680m descended.
