Sunday Repair Stooge

Gardening and house maintenance (hot waterpanels) most of day but got up on the Stooge with the pruning saw to clear that tree. Up road, then into the dogparkcarpark entrance rolling through the overgrown pylon-meadow and finding a dead tree almost blocking the track, so bust, cut a little and moved it out the way, cleaned up and kept rolling.  At the fir section I peeled left and headed down onto the new track and headed up that.  Cut one branch that could be a handlebar grabber, then continued up to the big mess.  Made pretty good work of it, getting extremely sweaty in the process, cut through what I needed to, pushed and pulled.  Before and After pics.... 

Then headed on up, and rode up the nice forest gentle slope to just below 19th, where I turned home.  Found a way down from this to the connector (from H'Ell to Infocentre) where I climbed back up to the trail I'd climbed, and then down to where I'd crashed, where I sawed off the tree that got me.  Finally, down into the newby, through my clearance in an instance, and nice interesting ride down - through oaks and all the way to the bottom, a nice bit of a flow.  Clamber to road, and home.

Nice ride, but short - 3kms, 88m climbed
