Parked up Nelson's and we hauled up Mt Pleasant Rd into the Upper Major entrance to Britten.
Chuffed up around VTwin and then around the front (hard to find) and around onto the road. Over the fence and overgrown climb to the singletrack up the side of Mt Pleasant where we dropped on into upper Greenwood, technicalia ensued then lower down it was railing-fast in the tussocks.
Into Greenwood proper and rocks were the name of the game. Very rumpty but we carried our speed the whole way, smooth(enough) riding and I was on Nelson's tail the whole way, pretty much. Good rest after the lung-burning sequence of Gloomy then got moving before a runner caught us. Great rail the rest of the way down to Evans. Both of us seemingly on fire.
Across the road and into Thomas, lots of walkers for a change, on their way up. Cleaned everything that needed cleaning, into the OG section and rock and roll. Heaps of flow and groove.
Off down the road to Dot Com for a coffee and slice, and then around the bikeways, lots of people about, and headed into and up the McCormack's Bay / Drayton Reserve trail (over 3 years since last up here!), steeeeeeep and lung-burny. I dont remember it being that steep... Hung a right after the bridges for a nice groove across to the last couple switchbacks (which required walking) before popping out on Drayton Rd. Then we finished on road, down through Assisi etc to Nelsie's.
Superlative 20kms with nearly 700 m climbed
