STuesgeday Night Nun Spin

Off the back of doing the Abel Tasman over the weekend, my legs were recovered somewhat, so I headed out for a fun wee chuff up and back last night on the Speedbomb.  

Quite hot evening, headed up the usuals, not really knowing where to head.  On the way up the road section, I stopped to snap-send-solve what appears to be the top end of the waterleak in the oaks.  Onwards then to head up over 19th, through skidder, up the gutser and beyond.  Chatted with a dude at the Thompsons #1 turn off - he was interested in my bike (he'd seen the Kendallweed session in Whistler on it).  I headed down Thompson's-both and him up.  

Through Dyer's and up the Summit, I contemplated dropping into the park but wasnt sure about the last lift timing, so continued to the top of the Nun.  Small rest here then dropped in.  Flow was good, only mildly jarring in a couple of places.  Good roll though, and lots of good vibes.  All the way down to the Kiwi again, and back up Summit Rd where I chatted to another dude up top here about the threatening sky, no rumbles, but heavy dark cumulus underbellies hanging around.  He'd just ridden up from the bottom of CAP - he'd been down there half an hour earlier (about when I would have been too, if I'd headed down rather than Nun!) and they'd stopped lift access due to risk of a thunder / lightning strike.  Just as well I hadn't dropped in!  I wouldnt have relished climbing back up Bengal etc...  

Back into Vic, and down the usuals, over the jumps, Rabbit, Rocks (gnarly today), and Gums (DRY!), all the way through to 19th, then below road (giving a walking woman (of a couple) a hell of a fright , even though I was coming past nice and slow), then through and out to road, coasting into Dogparkcarpark trail.  Flowy flow, detour into my new line, then "fuck!"  The little shits building jumps in there have fucking dismantled my favourite jump.  SO annoying.  They've built this dumb jump line through there, a berm of which is now part of the flood, therefore ruined, and fucking broken down was what the smoothest jump in there to waste the wood on other bullshit.  I'm fucked off.  In fact, I'm gonna go back up there and fix the fucker back to how it was.  

Marginal 10 kms travailed with 328 m climbed.
