Tuesday 3rd of May

Phatboy and Mellonfarmer drove to the top of Worsleys Rd and rode up through fog and sticky sticky mud that got stickier and stickier as they progressed. At the bottom of the bodybag they hung a left and headed up the fenceline and onto the sweeeeet singletrack that meanders down the ridge. they slipped and flowed over rocky features, roots and pineneedles. At the big cliff they turned back up and rode the trail, fun up too, to the high point where they turned back down and flowed and skidded again. on past the cliff and on over more cool features and cool corners and then down under the pylons and off to the right, which turned out to be the wrong, so they carried back up on the right and down over that cool drop and on over the whoopdedoos and nearly over a massive drop but then found the good way down, steep, full on braking controlled descent to the finish. back up the easy path to the rickety wallride, on down the singeltrack in the trees over the last drop and out onto the stickiness and back to the car. all up almost an hour and a half of riding. good to get up the hill even in the poor conditions.
