Wednesday, last of January, Nun for Breakfast

Last chance to get a ride inside the month of January.  I was awake, so got up, dressed and was out the door at 6.15am.  

Muggy, up through Vic - usual route, and into the Thompsons 1 and 2, down through Kiwi and up the road.  As I climbed, looking back at Lyttelton I could see through the mist a new pack of floaters ship being docked down at the port.  The mist was hugging the valleys and tops towards Gebbies.  Up Worsleys Rd and I hit the top of the Nun at 7am, deciding on the Nun (rather than the Gnarly) and dropped into the descent - taking this pic first... 

and 

Railing around the 2nd rocky corner I started losing it on the rocks.  Dew from grass coupled with dust from trail were conspiring to give me fuck all grip!  Yikes!  Nearly cooked it but got rolling again and was slightly more wary of the shitshow rocky corners.  Swooped through the swoopy bits and faffed around through some of the faffy bits, into the lower reaches, pumping and flowing sweet.  Across the Kiwi again and up the road, plodwise to the top of Vic, swooping in down around through the jumps, very nicely popped, and over the see saw, railed through the first of Brakefree then peeled out down the rabbit paddock, into rocks, gums, bombing, all the way down to 19th, below the road, back up onto it, into 235 swoop swoop over cooking and nearly losing it then jumpity jump and down out through.  Home by 7.20...

Nice and early 10.15 km with 335 m clambified.
