Tuesday 17th january

Picked up The Cook and Silverfox before driving up to and parking at the 19th Battilion Memorial. We hooked up with Nelsie, Mellonfarmer, Twopot, Little Ivan, Sandals, Tinkerbell, Dozer and Phatboy. Headed up onto Latters Spur for an early grunt then up past the jumpy bits before going up the worm to the top of Vic Park for a regroup. It was down Thompsons to the Kiwi next, managing to pick up some guy who was unknown to us but wanted to learn the tracks. Up we ground to the top of Marleys before setting up an order to come down. Nelsie, Mellonfarmer and Phatboy went all the way and we did not see them until a regroup back at the top of Marleys. The rest of us went the top half. Tinks led our group kicking up enough dust to be off putting but after a while this was gone and all was excellant. Good run down here and at halfway went straight back into the climb. Somewhere in here Little Ivan did his own thing. We all regrouped back at the top. Time for the 2nd run. Same order but we all went the whole way. This was a hellishly fast blast. No stopping with Tinkerbell just in front. Somehow Nelsie slowed or stopped and then he slowed us down. Tinkerbell then got a puncture and pulled to the side, then nelsie pulled out halfway while I continued into the bottom half. Meeting by Sign of the Kiwi. Eventually most people were there. Due to Tinks puncture nelsie, Mellonfarmer and Phatboy headed up for another loop. Phatboy only doing the bottom half. Imediately Tinks caught us we headed down Old Dyers. Great blast with Silverfox keeping up on my tail. Not many do down here normally. Everyone managed to stay out of the hole in the track....just! He was having a good run and loving it. Regrouped at the 4wd track where Phatboy caught up. From here just a lovely run before climbing back into Vic. Nice tuesday night cruise.
