Thursday 8th May

Fatman, Silverfox, Geez, Twopot and the Dreaded One all met at Rubberjaws place at 6ish. We headed up the Rapaki, passing a large group at the first cattlestop. Kept in front of them all the way up and then the Dreaded One had to have a blast as per usual. Rubberjaws, Silver Fox and Geez led up over Mt Vernon but got passed by the other 3 before we got to the road crossing. Twopot actually went over the bars on some rocks though. We regrouped then flew around to the top of Vic park. Rubberjaws nearly endoed in the rocky garden just before you get to Lava Flow. At Vic park dropped down and played in the new jumpy bit then down through the gums. We actually lost Geez when he carried on down the single track to the road. Down the new bits of Dazza's, (I like it a lot) still a bit loose in here then down through the old pines below this. Once again Rubberjaws slammed a tree (but ever so gently only broke my handlebar light). Very sketchy trhu here. Down Eastside track and out. Geez hit a puddle just before the cattlestop on the eastside track and splattered as his wheels hit the metal poles. A good ride on a wonderfully balmy night. Look forward to the ride on Saturday.
