Quick blat across and down Huntsbury and back. First coffee, then I hit up the hill on the Jeht. Up through usuals, 19th, Skidder, Gruntsville and up to top and into Worm onto the Traverse for the hoon across here. Uneventful, a few oncomers but early enough that there werent many around. Stopped for a bit of a rest at top of Hunts-DH. Chatted to a slightly older dude who said, "Have you done the Ghost Rd?"... yep, "is it harder than this?" They were relieved when I told him it's wider and less tech than sections of this (other than below Ghost Hut). They left and I dropped. A lot of wind about, bit gusty, but the first jump was all good. 2nd is almost inaccessible now due to rutsville, then 3rd and last couple are excellent. Out onto the landing strip section, I mistakenly stayed on the straight-ahead and flowed out through it, but bailed off it an back up the landingstrip to taken in the more technical flow over rocks and around and down, then on Aliexpress all the way down to the gate below (for Old Skool). Back up the climb for this pic.
On up and up the grind of the gravel to the top of Huntsbury Track, and onto the Traverse the opposite direction. Good blast with some nice tail-wind sections. Back all the way and enjoyably through the jumpies, down through the gate (as oposed to the seesaw), into the first section of brakefree, railing the new berms, then out onto rabbit paddock and down the rockgarden, gums, blitzy blitzy out the bottom and then rolling down the road into a very busy carpark, weave through cars to hit the fun trail, all the way down and out to H'Ell, to clamber back up onto Vic Park Drive and home.
Whole lotta fun - 11.7 km and 420 m climbed
