Had seemingly sorted the dropper issue, as in, it's all in how you hold your mouth and other people have had exactly the same issue with that model, so took the Stooge up the hill today. Cruised up to top of Vic, down the Thomson's, 1 and 2, then through the Pass below Kiwi, and dropped into the Choir Boy... over took a couple people, and had some epic speed, then slow around to Locomotion which was closed and announcing that Loess was too! Damn, both of them I had wanted to do... So, off down Rere Pia, which was slightly rougher than is preferable on the Stooge, tho really not that bad, and mucky in a couple bits too, splecking me up real good. Down into the park and cruised down through the carpark to find the Uphill track closed too! Argh. Now what?? Moseyed down through the wetlands then headed up Worsley's. Been a while. I cant believe we used to do it on the regular. I poked my nose into the Farside thinking I'd drop down it and back up, but it really was too greasy, so off I continued up and up and up. The gravel was a grind, then the body bag was even more so. Walked a tiny bit at the top.
Into the Nun, pretty good blast down, not too greasy and not too mucky, tho, below the road was a mess, or, at least, made me a mess. Out at the Kiwi and onwards up to top of Vic, dropping, nailing the first jump, only just, then down rabbit, into rocks, through gums, excellent until just before you meet Sesame lower down I smacked a tree and nearly ended up off the side just winding in the loss of control before that happened. Down and out to skidder, then down road to the Dog Park Carpark, into this trail and man was it messy. Wettest I reckon I've ever ridden it. The oaks were an absolute mess. All the way down, bike loving it, out to H'Ell, and the clamber up to road and home.
Good blast, just shy of 20 kms, and a healthy 673 m escalated.
