Sweet and slow, both of us exhausted from a week of sickness, we toodled around a few trails in Hanmer. Cruised up Bristol St and dropped over to the pond and up to Swamp for a cruisy climb. Really fatigued we both were, utterly spent. And climbing's not T's forte anyway, so was good for her to get into this. Down Swoop for a fun descent, fatty handling the whole thing beautifully. Then it was off around Western Link track and over down through past the DOC base and through the tech practice zone to the road bridge. I bombed back up to the car and grabbed us some eggy pie which I rode back up a different street, down to Dog Stream and back up to T on a picnic table. From here we headed off down Easy Rider, fun down stream through onto Perserverence through to it's end. T had had about enough now so we headed back along Easy Rider, then climbed back up to the streets and back to the car. Hot pools soak and steam infusion followed and we were toasted.
An easy 14.15 kms and nearly 200m climbed.
