Solo Saturday, early(ish), no breakfast, green tea in bottle - time for some fat burning...
Up the usual, huff chuff, ugh on the grunter, around and up to the very top. Pop down for a jump or two, then straight round into Worm, climbing back up to the Traverse. Took this across the top, not meeting many people, then stopped and breathed at top of FourpauseHuntsburyDH.
Into the down, bombing, jumping, grooving. After the bottom gap jump I peeled left(ish) onto the old route down through the tussocks, over the rocks for more interest than the straightline bombing that's been built. At the landing strip I just turned up and hauled back to the top, kinda chasing, but mostly just keeping up with another dude. He headed up onto the road to look at views, whereas I jumped straight onto the Traverse back towards Vic. Good bomb around this, taking it relatively easy. At the pond I stopped for what turned out to be a couple of fat Ebikers, then didnt stop for and 'accidentally' shoulder-barged one of the next two.
At the rest spot the Huntsbury dude had caught me up and we chatted about how ebikers havent seemed to have gotten the memo regarding trail etiquette... Onwards around the traps and into the trees, over the jumps, over the see-saw, first bit of brakefree then rabbit paddock, rockgarden, gums all the way down, then down the road into 235 and a nice bomb down this followed by the climb out to the microwave tower and bomb down the back of the houses, home.
Nice early 11.6 kms, with 407 m climbed.
