Up on the Jeht, no idea where I was going and not feeling up to much, but wanting much. Bulk hayfever around and lots of other riders.
Ground to the top of Vic, following a couple of guys who I'd gain on then not, then gain... Passed them when they were getting grass out of one of their derailleurs just near the entrance to Thompsons - down which I went, just after an ebiker. Onto road, lower Thompsons and then through the pass and up the Summit Rd, grinding away, ebiker disappearing into the distance. Over taken up here by another 2 ebikers, thinking, "lazy cunts." Followed a grom up to top of Nun and chatted briefly, then dropped in. Not too bad a run, bike handling nicely. All the way to the bottom then through the pass again and up Summit to top of Vic.
Dropped in down around the usual jumpies, over the see-saw and hard right for a pleasant cruise up the fenceline. Lugged over this and dropped into Pedalfine, which I did not pedal particularly finely. Grabbed the first left and fucked up the log, fucked up the first corner nearly losing it. Handled the jandal down an across the wee bridgey thing, then dropped onto the access track across. Dropped into one of the trails along here, but then failed and climbed back out. Not feeling good. Headache and low energy. Along a bit further and dropped into Razza's which I rode pretty good, biffing and baffing my way down. Stopped for a long rest here wondering where the hell to go and what to do. A couple of guys cruised past (from coming out of Dazza's) and one commented on "Cool bike!" and "wait! what are those brake pads!??"
I made up my mind and dropped down Razza's extension into Brentzone, sidling as far across as I could. It's getting well worn out in there, and was still pretty damp. Out the bottom and hard left up into Corporate Ladder which really got me huffing. Had to stop for a rest at the big limby gum. Out top to Sneaky, still pondering, up?? down?? Down. Into Sneaky Ridge, dropping down and hopping out onto Bridges and Nu-Bridges down to the valley. Turned up here on K2, got half way up the first bit and decided, nah, fuck it. Turned back down and took Hidden Valley Bonus climb, clambering well up onto Old Skool.
Nice blast down Old Skool, blitzy blitz, and at the bottom, again with the indecision. Up? or the bus?? Really didn't have that climb in me so settled on the bus. Down Bowenvale, across to Landsdowne, Centaurus, Cashmere to PMH where I sat down, chilled out for about 5 minutes and the bus arrived. Nice. Stopped my MMR here.
Overall, 15.7 kms, with only 405 climbed (plus from bus stop to home) - and must be around 600 or so descended.
