Limited time and fixing for 30+ degrees. T had headed off on a walk earlier, and I needed to ride before the heat, but had Paul coming at 9 to get his brakes bled.
Headed up the usuals thru Vic. Took in both the Thompson's, nicely flowed, then back up road to top. Down around the jumpies, Worm back up to Traverse. 8.35am, I thought, I'll ride 5 minutes each way on the Travers, see if I can see T. Headed out around to the first high point, stopped and rang her, no answer, rode a bit more then spotted a black figure walking up. Cool. I'll ride to her. Stopped to let a rider through around towards carpark stop and it was Fiona from work, brief chat then I jetted to T just below the pond. 8.40, left her, bit of Traverse - 8.45 at top of Vic, jumpies, into the pines and gums, all the way down, Dogparkcarpark, brief look for new line, nothing that didn't need lots of cutting, then all the way out and down to H'Ell, clamber to road, 8.55, rolled back down to home a couple minutes to 9 - to find a text from Paul just come in saying "i'll be 15 minutes".
Continuing the 8ish km theme of the last couple, 8.76 km and 292 m climbed.
