Tuesday 16th September

The decision as to where we rode today was left to the last minute. It was decided that the Farm track was the go. Marcus, English Mark, Fatboy, Tinkerbell, Mellonfarmer, Nelson, Geez, The Silverfox and Rubberaws all set off about 6.20. We hit the Farm Track for the long grind. The first steep, rutty and bumpy bit always makes you suck it in. A few stopped, dabbed or walked but a few surprised themselves by doing it all, while the usual ones just rode through it all. A quick stop for air and then slogged on up the hill at various speeds. Some steady some faster. At the top we turned left down Mt Vernon Track, over Witch Hill and then around to Castle Rock Track. Good repairs done on this track but English punctured so we waited. Fatboy and Marcus shot back to help and on their return Marcus punctured so a further delay. At this point we went around to John Brittan reserve and cut across this down to the subdivision at the bottom. Nice even though it was a bit naughty. We then cut down the track to McCormick's Bay, an awesomely sweet track. A few split off at Linwood Ave while the rest blasted around the back track all the way home. Great sprint to finish. Nice ride Guys....
