Nelson and me out from my place. Usual up over 19th to skidder into Razza's, sweet blast down, quick climb up the radzone to next corner to drop into lower Pedalfine. At the skidder track, a brief climb back up towards Rad. up and back for no real reason other than a look, then hooked into the lower end of Pedal for a blast down and out onto Flow/Bridges and all the way down to Bridges-Nu.
Railing down the valley bottom and into Hidden Valley, catching a couple of guys in here. Around the corner under the pylon and there were a hundred Enduro riders, clusterfucked all over the hill, waiting to start their next stage. We pushed to the front and dropped in ahead of their race. Excellent blast down, tho I was getting tired by the bottom, photographers practicing their shots on us as we descended, and a crowd (like 10 people) standing watching us at the bottom. Tiring.
Down Bowenvale Ave and around Centaurus to cRapaki.. Up the road, and first gravel then into the new Elevator trail. Pretty good climb, not bad at all. Rinsed me a bit tho, seems way longer and more effort that the piece of cRapaki that it bypasses would consume. Stayed on the singletrack across above the flat zone of cRapaki, then on the main drag struggle street for the rest of the climb. From there it was on up Vernon, and into the Traverse for a often fog bound cruise around here.
Into Pedalfine start, peeling left and out on the diversion which was looking and feeling pretty rarely used. Skidder over 19th again and down the road to the dogparkcarpark into 235, very overgrown entrance, excellent bomb down here over the yumpies and through the oaks. Last climb and last blast behind the houses.
Exhausting 21.5 kms with 624 m climbed
