Short local up and back taking in some dodgy walking tracks.
Bit of mucking around first, but Nelson came to mine and we headed out at 6.40 and headed up into Vic Park the usual way, on the walking track to save the tires, then up over the top of the Info Centre then up over 19th and up the grunter. We climbed around and hit Thompsons #1 down, then along the road and into #2, blitzing through the splecky water on the trail ("needs a drain at the top," i mentioned). Bars missing the narrow trees we hoofed out onto the road and rolled down to the Pass. Up the Summit, with a million Park bikers coming down towards us we climbed up to where the top Gov's Bay track drops over from opposite the Nun. Grabbed a drink and snack bite here then we headed along the Coronation Reserve walking track, southside so greasy, little soft mud but damn slippery rocks too. A few clambers up too-tech sections then nice rolling around and dropping down the other side. Onto the trail that heads around the back to the Kiwi too, nicely nicely - only 2 too-tech bits.
Back up the road to top of Vic and in for the blast around over the jumps and then down through Brake Free, through the stile and left into the Gums, awesome pace all the way down through and out to Skidder, and into the newly re-formed "CAP This Way" trail, bermy back and forth down to Vic Park Rd. Back up this and into the walking track below, across to Tawhairanui and into the 235 Dogparkcarpark blast. Mucky as all F in the usual wetspot and then out to the exit for a final tire-clearing hoon down to home.
Only 8 and a quarter kilometres, with just over 300 m escalated.
Off to Slaughter Burn for the week on Friday...
