Nelson came over in the afternoon and we headed up into the Park.
Up the road, seeing Sophie's parents and little bro walking up Vic, quick chat, then onwards up the road. My route around the top of the 19th and over to the skidder, then up the grunter guts climb, to the top of Vic.
Across to the edge of the trees and dropped down to the top of the black and double black lines, looking down Cowabungaitis and wondering... Decided tho on original plan, upper fenceline. I was untrusting of the slick but Nelson bombed off down ahead. Around and across, looked into Roam (which got very mucky below the massive log drop), and Flow Rider, but dropped into Cool Runnings, wafting down with a brief sessioning of one step-up feature. Then down all the way into the gulley. Climb out, this time through Cool Runnings towards Rad^Sick, which is steep but maybe not as steep as the other way I went last time I ground out of there.
At the 40fter we headed across into Ponos, which was very sloppy in places, especially where there was water and muck on redrock, sliiiccckk as. Out to the 23fter, back up the 4wd climb. Zig and Zag around and up to Skidder, then up the grunter guts following a mum & daughter(?) who were walking faster than me, but the same speed as Nelson.
Then it was around a 'new' access to Sesame St, dropping down this, pop pop pop, and out through skidsville down Vic and into the 235, ducking under the tree and not too greasy til the wet spot in the oaks. Clamber back up to the road and upwards, lo and behold, there's Sophies folks and bro again walking down. Lolz all round. Into the descent behind the houses, a little sloppy in one section but the rest good. Back home.
A pretty steep sub-8 km, with only 336 m climbed.
