Sunday 22nd April

Went outside and met up with Mellonfarmer, Silverfox, phatboy, Tinkerbell, Sandals and Dozer.  We then preceded to  do the same ride as last Sunday but with a few changes to the posse and to the lines we took.  Up Gruntsbury at a steady pace, then into Traverse, (no stopping to stay in front of some snails although some got caught) Thompsons and then climbed up to Marleys.  The joke on the track is regarding cameras, passing and punching.   Down Marleys at wahoo pace then up to the top of Vic and down Rockgarden and Gums.  Stopped to chat with Nick the ranger and Phatboy put air in his tyre.This was the fourth  bike put upside down today for 1 reason or another.  headed down Shazzas.  This is where we had some separation.  I was keen to do another line so went off the main trail.  I was followed by  Dozer, Silverfox and Sandals.  Got into a line and baulked.  Scoped it out and decided YES I will ride it sort pushed back up and then headed down.  Nice steep and technical.  Loved.  We regrouped at the bottom and then into Brents and hooked up with the other 3.  Then down Bridges and Flow before heading up Hidden Valley.  From here down Old Skool and then out for coffee.  Great ride.  Felt fantastic afterwards.  I feel a Greenwood Godley expedition coming on.
