Sunday 3rd April.

1st ride under Standard Time and lets think who got up early, Tinkerbell and Sandals. N E way. Tinks, Dozer, Phatboy, Silvefox and te Rex met at mine and we headed round and started up Gruntsbuury. Just after the closed section Mellonfarmer finally arrived and at good pace we headed up. it was quite warm and we stopped for a blow at the Aotea bend. Up we went, grinding ever upward, me still not on top of things and finding it a shitter climbing. carried on to off road and continued up. Hooked up with Sandals and Helmut at the top before a brilliant blast around the traverse. Into Thompsons where I went into the 1st hairpin so fast I lost it and had to dab. Funny it was and had to move over so others could pass. Silverfox peeled off at Kiwi while the rest of us headed up to the top of the Nun. Had a wee stop before heading down, MF and Hel going all the way together while the rest stopped at the Carpark and headed back to the top slowly to allow the other 2 to catch. I am sure they went really fast cos they did. Done the Worsley B line. it was fun with good techy lines. Stopping halfway for a good look over the plains. Carried on down and somehow we lost Te Rex. Finally found him and then we carried on down. Nice run down the singletrack beside the road. Then home. Stopped and waited for Sandals and Helmut so we could say Bye but they shot off in a different direction. Great ride.
