Long, hard, fat ride up the valley and over View Hill. Hot stuff. Ground up the valley, stopping many times for breathers but cleaning the whole lot. It was HOT, so shade was sought regularly. Didnt see many cars. Once up on the summit there was a little more cloud cover and now and then, and then I peeled onto the ridgeline, long grass and very runny poo, walking a bunch, eventually seeing the herd of cows, steers, a bull and some calfs hanging around towards the end of the ridge paddock. Over the fence and up then across, and then up up to the top of View Hill, practically IN the cloud, tho a view out to the northerly down into the LA valley. Snacked, and got riding, for the fast bomb down. Just over an hour of riding time to the top and less than 20 minutes down. Fantastic speed down past the Eagle's nest and then more down the road... Got home, into togs and straight back to the beach for a cool dip, sharing the beach space with 2 other people and a Hector's Dolphin! Nice.
A viewsome 17.5 kms and a smidge under 800m climbed.
