Tuesday 5th August

Finally a dry night that we could ride up the hill. Fatman, Tinkerbell, Geez, Rubberjaws, Hubby, and English Matt rode up the Rapaki. A bit of a grunt for most of us due to the lack of riding and especially the lack of hill riding over the last couple of months. The track is pretty rutted and loose due to all the rain. When we got to the top we were pleasantly surprised by how mild it was. All the top tracks are closed so we headed towards Evans Pass along the road. Good push with most of us standing in the pedals some of the way. Finally we had some downhill from the top of Mt Pleasant to Sumner. A good run for all and some fun. Stopped at Dot Com for coffee and then rode back to Rubberjaws. Good push and we were all pleasantly stuffed when we got there. Looks like the weather will hold out for most of the week and we may even ride Sunday if it does. Might even get some single track in.
