I drove around to Silverfoxes and picked him up for the boring drive out to McLeans Island due to the hill tracks being closed again!!!! They were most probably ok to ride but the web said no so we stayed off. Anyway we were advised that Abba was riding out and please pick him up if we saw him. Near Sawyers Arms Rd we saw Tinks and Dozer ahead of us. As we got close to the track Tinks pulled over and picked Abba off the road. We then passed Te Rex with a couple of hundred metres to go. Parked up beside Bugs then we mucked around, and oohed and aahed about bikes. Set off along the track, Te Rex striding out, then Abba, then me pacing it for the others. Tinks did get passed but then stopped to blow air into his tyre. We carried on at a steady pace. Stopped at the bridge 8km and regrouped. Then into the new section Te Rex, Silverfox and Bugs took off. I continued to pace it for others. We nearly caught SilverFox before the bridge. He and Bugs were falling of Te Rex's pace. Stopped for a chat and a bite then back to the beginning. Me pacing myself with Silverfox, Bugs and Dozer following. The fast boyz were at the track entrance gasping for air when I went back into the track at my steady mile eating all day lasting pace. Bugs and the Fox on my tail. Others rested. Abba and then Te Rex joined the group and this is how it stayed for the next 15km loop, with no stops or speed drop. Just a steady pump. Tinks and Dozer did the 10km loop and beat us to the carpark by 1.5km.
The track is dead boring but I got air 2-4 times. It is fitness only. All in all a good pump and enjoyed it and the company. We headed home dropping boyz as I went.
I will contact Nick Singleton today regarding track closures as many of us are getting frustrated by the speed that they are getting closed. We have reports that the tracks were good to go yesterday and many plebs were on them.
