Blustery hoof up The Captain and out the Godley Rd to climb up and ride back into a gale on the rocks and back down hauling.
Drove to Nelson's, bike barely fits in the Toyota. Bikes on his roof and we headed around to Sumnervale, knuckling straight into the climb. Very warm. Good climb, once past the nasty start it's a great cruise until further up on the rocks. Clambered and climbed and gasped for air, finally out the top and the wind was blustery as hell, watched a crazy whipperwhirl of dust rise up from the hairpin bend on the road while we sat at the gate along there.
Cruised along Godley Head Rd out to where we climb up onto the trail proper, then headed back towards Evans. Jeht behaved beautifully, felt really good over the rocks, and I reckon I could feel the extra 10mm of travel in the rear. The wind was hard work tho. Took the highline end down and then it was time for the Captain. Excellent blast down here - tail wind pushing us along to rocket speeds. All the lovely tech down below, and we were done.
A glorious 11.something K, and a sound 418 m clambered
