Surprisingly short local with Nelson tonight, as in, it felt like a hell of a lot longer, because of all the steepness.
From mine, we trundled up the road through 19th, Skidder, gutser and up to top of Vic. Off down round the jumps and Worm, then headed down Pedalfine, with me, after some baulking, and then reattacking it, actually managing the steep rock section. From the bottom of it, hung a left across and dropped in on the corner to check out a bit of the new bits of Rad. Got to a trail-work closure and dropped out down onto the climbing trail, heading up to drop into Razza's. Biff boff baff down this, veer left into a little bit of rad, then onto Brents, flowing back and forth in the macs (overtaking a slower rider in here). Down out of forest, across to NuBridges, nice flow down here, me holding Nelson's tail, then down out rolling down the bottom of the valley, heading for Old Skool. Oh... Track Closed sign on Hidden Valley bonus climb track to Old Skool, so we turned back up , heading up the nastiness of K2, climbing climbing. When we got to Shazza's there was a few riders coming down. First one went by on an ebike and Nelson yelled out, "Wazza!" The followers were Andy and Wayno. Good catch up here, then we went our separate ways, Nelson and me climbing up through the Rad Zone up to the Skidder. Straight across into Latter's Spur Track, rolling across below the Rangerstation and some nice steppy bits in the bush, then out and over to Dog Park. Into here, diagonalising across towards the eastern gate, dropping over some nice tech, then through the gate and down the fenceline, slick in a couple of spots and rather close to the barbed wire - roots still there but no more trees. Over the stile, and below the H.Ell Drive houses, popping out at Scarff Place to climb back home..
Somewhat evanescent ride tonight, only 7.67 kms and 350 m climbed.
