Beaut ride today on the Stooge. Up to the hut and back, glorious riding, far from perfect conditions, with the squalls holding off most of the time...
Didn't take as long as I thought it might. Riding and riding and then suddenly there's the 1km to hut sign... proved to be a very long 1 km, but got there and the first real downpour hit the moment I was inside the hut. Caught a couple of light ones on the way back out. Saw several goats - chasing a wee brown billy for at least a km at one point. The trail was so much fun on that bike.
On my way in I met one biker (in the zigs above the noisy gorge) and then a runner (a little further up before the Watson Creek bridge). On the way out, a couple of sets of two trampers, then a group of 6 young folk the Inland Track bridge, a couple singles on my way up the climb and a dad and kid on the descent.
Indefatigued 30kms, 830 climbed
