Good wee spin on the Jeht, with an uplift.
Climbed up through Vic, over 19th, Skid, Grunt. Realised at the water fountain I didn't have a bottle. Bother. Oh well, drank some and kept rolling, into Thomson's Both, Through Kiwi and up the Summit, Worsley's into Nun. Bit of a stop a the top and 4 old buggers on eebs turned up, we chatted, then I let them go off, and gave them some time to get ahead. I dropped in and eventually caught the tail-end Charlie. At the corner closest to the CAP he let me past and I railed the rest of it. Felt like I was riding pretty good. We all set off down the next section and I was having to hold back on the same dude's tail, but I bailed at the road, crossing over to hit down the Governor's Bay trail. Slick in places, but fun. Down around, and into the climb, cleaning more than ever, just seemingly having the power. Walked a tiny section to the road, crossed over, finished off the lower Nun, and popped out at the road. A mum and kid bikers rolled up and I asked if Zero Ultra was open, "Yes. Yes, it is."
I dropped in a little after one of her grom kids and proceeded to stay on his tail, reel him in even. Then peeled off into Zero for the first time down. It was much as expected, a few pops that would be giant air if you were carrying the speed, scenic (not that I got to see much - too busy focussing), loved it when it got into the trees, fast, jumpy (not that I did), and then one by one other tracks joined in from either side then I recognised the last sections. Down to the fountain, drink, up to the lift.
Nice chat with nice peeps on the lift, then off down, pulling over to let them haul-arse through (all practicing for the racing tomorrow), all the way down lower Nun and through the Kiwi and up the road, dropping into Thomsons the upper. Topped out, jumpies, see-saw, Brakefr-- out to Rabbit, Rocks, Pines, Gums all the way, then into fun Newby Home track having a good session down here. Really enjoying this trail, it's so tight.
16.3 kms travailed, with 846 m ascended, of which 400 odd were chaired.
