Quick blast up to top of Vic on the BFe SS.
Good climbing, standing and chuffing, getting the rhythm going nicely, finally taking a seat around the dog park car park, and riding with a guy on a Marin Pine Mountain (new 29r steel hardtail) who I'd been slowly winding in. I peeled off to head up to Skidder and up the guts. Got a wee way up then off to walk. Just for the fun of it I decided to take the diagonal path to the right, crossing Sesame St and taking me up into the middle of the Gums where I found a way up (that could be marginally rideable?) climbing above where I hatchetted the tree and up that dh bit in the pines out the top. Through the cattlestop to rabbitsville, climbing up this, finding it not as wet as when I got sideways on the fatty the other day. A lot of people about, how many live local? I wondered...
Into the pines (nice late afternoon lighting)
and across the Worm, then turning back, across and down, over the See Saw, pumped through first BrakeFrees and out, down the soggy Rabbit paddock, rock garden and across back and funtimes down the gummies. On down the trail below here, greasy, then out 19th, coasting down the road, into the 235/UpperDogParkNewby, good to start then mucky suck hole down below. Last climb out and tire-clearing down the road, home.
Four and three quarter kilometres, with 166 m climbed.
