Out for a hoon last night on the Jeht. Headed up the usual way over 19th and admit I had to walk a little in the gutser. Really didn't know where to go, and paused at top of Vic for ages before heading off down the Thompsons #s 1 and 2, then through Dyers up Summit Rd to just past Worsley's. Hit the Crater Rim/360 trail from here, climbing up to a stile. Took a wee look up the Trig track but it proved too narrow and steep, so back to stile and onwards along the lower track. Fun descent after the next stile. Straight through this saddle and continued along the next rocky section of Crater Rim, over this to the big saddle (where Kennedy's used to come out).
Turned around rode the same both through to Worsley's. Climb was good, descent not so much. Up Worsley's Rd next and into the climb to top of Nun. Brief breather here then into it. Tyres were too hard but I stuck with it and rolled and popped and jazzed my way down the Nun, riding pretty good at the mo. Into the lower reaches and some mental speed, and not. Popped out the road and then huffed up to the top of Vic. Descent-mode activated and good flow down around over the first jump, second not so much. Down the rabbit paddock (sogggggy in the middle) and into the rocks, ping ping ping, then gums, nice back and forth flow, down all the way out to 19th. Rolled down the road, took in Tawhairanui and then into the Dogparkcarpark trail. Soggier than Saturday, somehow. and the Oaks were disgusting. Appalling how much water is flowing down through here. I'm sure that water tank must be leaking, cos this has gotta be more than just run-off from the road, or general hill leakage. All the way down through to the bottom, some newly tilted dead standing trees lowering the headroom in a couple of places. Clamber to road, and home.
Withstandable, 13.1 kms and 472 m escalated.
