Sunday 23rd August, by Sandles

Silverfox, Sandles, Mellonfarmer, The Goat, Tinkerbell, Gees, Bugs and Fatboy gathered themselves outside HeWhoWasStillSleeping's place. After a thorough discussion of the previous nights numbers and form…. some obligatory bike comparisons…. off we set. A steady pace up Rapaki, amoungst the many others out enjoying the first sunshining dry weekend in a few. Mt Vernon single track & rocks then quickly demanding our balance & refreshing skills again. Ahhh, the Traverse, always a pleasure. After regrouping at top of Vic we descend Thomsons to the Kiwi to refill drink containers, then road climb up Marleys for that stunning harbour view. A quick sort into descent order & off down the Nun we all flew, putting even bigger smiles on our faces. We kept under the road, from the Kiwi, puddle splashing our way back into mid Vic Park, regrouping at the jumps then Dazers, the dark forest, some rut dodging and Bowenvale before breaking up and headed home.
