Saturday 3rd December





Dozer arrived at Bugs, then we picked up The cook and Sandals and headed to Craigieburn. Got there in time to meet up the sand flies and discover Sandals had a flat, Dozer helped to repair it in no time. Rode along the road in a head northwester then started the haul up the Ski field road. Couple of stops along the way to admire the view then arrived at the top carpark in no time at all. Had a quick bite to eat then up the last little hill to the start of the single track. Bugs found a snow ball and passed it to Dozer who didn't see it coming. Hit the single track with Bugs leading followed by Dozer, Sandals then The Cook. Nice flowing track from here as long as you didn't look left. 1st stop was so Bugs could show the crew where Leanne broke her arm last time he was here. Cross the 1st of many scree slopes. Some riding bit's and some taking there time enjoying the views. Stopped for a regroup on the end of the last scree so Dozer can start a land slide trying to take The Cook out. Took the right track up to Lyndon saddle. Some rode most of it, some walked most of it but all got to the top of the saddle for a group rest. Bugs headed down The Luge followed closely by Dozer, The Cook and Sandals. Fantastic run down here over tree roots, small drop offs and small gaps between the trees. The Cooks handle bar getting a little close to one tree but he managed to stay on the track. All arrived at the gravel road with smiles on there faces. Quick ride down here to a nice feed on Cracker biscuits, cheese and pickles that Sandals has prepared for us. Loaded the bikes up and headed back to town arriving home around 3.30pm.
