Saturday 6th September

Again a spot of fine weather allows us to ride. The rain on Thursday and showers early on Friday was a bit nerve racking but not enough to saturate everything. Mighty Marie, Geez, Silverfox, English Mark, Fatboy, Tinkerbell and Rubberjaws all set off up the Rapaki. Chilly but with sun shining. Good stomp up hill and everyone showing improvement in fitness and pace. We regrouped at the top and rode the road around to the Traverse Track as this was open. Blasted through here with only a couple of puddles of mud and then shot down to Sign of the Kiwi via Thompsons. All of us feeling fine. Some of us better than others. We blasted the road to the top of Worsley and then up and over Marleys. What a hoot. This was avoid but it only had 3 puddles of a small size. No threat to the track. The new bit is just so awesome. The guy building it was there and we all gave him big ups for this. We then rode back up to the start of the new piece twice more to blast down again. Awesome. Cos the Vic park tracks were avoid we shot down the road, into Vic, down Hackthorne and Dyers dropping riders as we went. Quick ride home.
