Saturday Easy Street, and a shorty.

Bit of riding on Saturday, certainly, kilometres travelled, but mostly by Ebike...  

Firstly, H and me took the opportunity to go out on what is now his new bike, we've bought off the (elderly) neighbours.  A Norco Fluid 9.2 (9.3?).  Very good condition 29er, medium frame, reasonable spec.  We headed up the tracks (not road) and climbed up to the Skidder then up to top of Vic.  H waited for me but I went up Worm and came back through the funjumps, then we took Brake Free into Sesame beginnings peeling left into the Gums.  Usual route down here, then right down, through to 235, fun bomb down this, jumps jumping well.  Then climbed back up to bottom of dog park and down the back of the houses... 5.3 kms with 177 m climbed

Slightly later, T and me bombed down to St Martins New World, collected a few things then went to Paul and Justine's, who were in isolation, to drop a meal and some citrus to them, then back up Bengal, Delhi, Poulson, Hackthorne home.  Plugged the bikes in for the limited time we had to top them up before the evening's festivities.  

Closer to 6, T and me hit the down again, remembering to turn on MMR in Malcolm Ave, riding out to David's place for dinner.  After much consumption we rode home up Evans Pass Rd, up and along the Summit Rd, around midnight.  Amazingly met virtually no cars, tho there were a fair few parked up places.  At Harry Ell we hung a tight right (and heard boy-racerscumbags burning out on the the Dyers below), cruised down the gravel track and then took Victoria Park Rd home. (Which according to GooglyMaps was a little over 20 kms, with over 500 climbed, and 370 odd descended).
