Bandi-Gig last night at Greg's on Bridle Path Rd and neither T nor me could drive home from it, so left the Leaf there - so I rode from home to collect it today.
Onto the Rocky and I headed up through Vic, taking Worm to the Traverse. Not bad run round here, bit of a head wind, pulling over a few times to let people through and having the same courtesy applied to me a few times. Onto Vernon, good descent, fast in places, leaping through the usual Rapaki-top and hoofing it up into Witch, clamber clamber. Bit of a breather then down to the Summit Rd and cruising up to Castle Rock for a very fun blast down, railing, weaving, wending. Clamber clamber, back up onto Summit for the roll round under the Gondola and climbing climbing up to the cutting and straight into Britten. Around the front - dont often do it this way, was alright, then bombing down the socalled VeeTwin blasting and railing, then across the front to the down track, down connecting back onto the main bike track and descending to the bottom. Over the stile and onto the technical Kenton track, fun times had, popping over most tech issues, but dab-scooting through a couple too. At the steps at the end I headed down, bike on rear wheel then riding a little, dab-scoot or pushing through the techest of the tech and descending all the switchbacks and steps down the Heathcote Quarry track. Great technical ending, and finishing directly where I'd parked the car.
Close to 16 kms of sweet (mostly) off-road goodness, with 574 m escalated.
