Saturday, we were going to dinner and decided to walk down, so I took the car down the hill with the Troll on the rack and parked on the 'Lombo. Took a route of much interest, up some steps and steeps...climbed just over 200 m...
Sunday: Up and down a couple of times from home. We'd moved back home on Friday so it was time to hit the Vic Park up for a spin.
Up the usuals, Vic Park Rd giving me a good huff, around 19th over to Skidder where I bumped into Andy and Jenna running/walking a nice doggy. Good long chat with them, then a fresh start up the grunter thru Brakefrees and up to Worm. From top of here, across for a bomb of the yumpies, over the see-saw and a righthander up the fenceline and over the next to dive straight into the top of Pedal fine. Nicely nicely down the first bit then carefully off to the left and drippy droppy dropsville down to the sidle. Across this, nice and cruisily to the pop down thru Razza's, which was very nice indeed.
Another cruisy meander across past the 40footer and over into Sneaky Ridgeline for a swoopy droppy rockily nice techfest before bombadoodling down thru the oaks and popping out into the Bridges zone. Weird front wheel pingslap (rock? tire peel??) after the bridge somehow, which slightly put the shits up me. Into the trees, and swooping again, never really sure which way I was intending to go, but then taking nuBridges all the way down. Short glide down the valleybottom and a rolling hop up straight into the Hospital Corner climb. Stopped at the crest before Ugh ugh ughing up to the singletrack, cleaning the roots in here nicely, up past the 27footer and then grunting my way up across and on up through bits of what I'd come down under the bottom of Razza's, through the RadSick Zone climbing around gasping, finally getting my breath as I got to the Skidder.
For the extra punishment I continued up the grunter to Brakefree and cruiesed across the Rabbitpaddock for the gummies descent, pinging nicely down through the rocks, around and about. Ooop, tree across my favourite line, just before the steep corner (note to self... must wander up with dog and axe). Finished off through here and all the way down to road, then buzzing down the seal and peeled into 235 finding a mucky messy mucky mess in there. Climbed back out to the road and up to DogPark for the rush down home behind houses.
A surprisingly low 7.8 km with a moderately steep 374 m climbed
