The weekend of 29/30 October.

Picked up The Cook and Headed up to Hamner to hook up with the rest of PFMTBC who had been on the annual trip. We got there and headed out. We headed up the Flax Gulley Track (a first for us) which was a nice steady climb and really enjoyable. From there we did Swoop track onto Majuba and then up Timberlands Trail which is short but steep. Had a rest here before then Climbing up Jollifes Saddle Track. I was a bit annoyed on not getting the last hairpin. We stopped for a bite before heading down the otherside. The Cook had an off on the first Switchback but other than that it was a fast blast down. Across the footbridge and then climbed upto Deetox. A fun but of track but not really worth the climb in my opinion. Then up part of Mach1, down dogstream and then we climbed up Jollife Rd before doing Red Rocks which is a fun swooping track. Headed back to town for a bite where we then Hooked up with Twopot and Lance. We then drove the ute to the bottom of Threshold before starting the climb to the top. Steep track and we pushed some of it. At the top we pushed up an obscure extension. This was really steep, unrideable up sort of track. Ended up on a fire road before coming down. This was a blast, whooping and hollering. The Cook did have a surf and an off but survived to tell the tale. Down into the rest of this high speed and challenging track. Loved it immensely. From the bottom The Cook took the ute back to the House while the 3 of us rode back. Showers and beer while we waited for the posse. They arrived about 6.30 and we went off for dinner and back to the House for lotsa drinks. The morning arrived way to soon but we cleaned up and then mounted up for a ride. Nelsie had arrived to join us. The Posse now consisted of Nelsie, Mellonfarmer, Phatboy, Bugs, Dozer, Silverfox, Tinkerbell, Sandals, Helmut, Texas, The Cook, Twopot, Lance and myself. Up Flax Gulley then we went up Yankee Zephyr (Great down hill blast), across the Swamp, up Timberline, Down Red Rocks, up Dogstream where we broke into two posses. A few went and did Deetox while the bulk headed down Mach1 and then started the climb to Threshold. We rode all the road to the second firebreak, stopping for a rest 3/4 of the way and then whooped and hollered our way down the track. Down the rode to town for a bite before hopping in the vehicles for the drive back to town. For me and the cook 2 successful days of riding. For the others it was the end of a long week. Hoping one of them will fill in the details of their trip on here.
