Limited time due to chores, so headed up on the Jeht. Before 19th there were a bunch of riders and organisers heading in. "What's happening today?" "Enduro, you can join in if you want?" "Thanks, but I'm limited in time" and I continued on my way over 19th, an through Skidder which was getting set up with sun-shelters and lots of people. Good climb up the grunt and up through to the top of Vic, taking Thompsons #1 down, then back up the road, pushing a good pace. Off down and around over the jumpies, and out across the rabbit paddock into the Rockgarden. One THWUNK in the rear end and I thought, oh, that didn't sound good, pedal through top of gums and around and, uh oh, back end's getting washy... Damn it. Total flattage. No gear, just water bottle. So... Started walk-running down. Tape in gums directing the racers down my usual way, so I ducked under it and took the short version down to the left. Down to the jumpy trail from the left, following it down, keeping away from main tracks all the way out to 19th then below road, Taiwharaunui, dogparkcarpark, lovely, shady walk through here, then out 'To Harry Ell' and down home.
Ride up, walk down. Sucky.
