Sunday 15th July

Yahoo a ride finally.  I drove out to Dot Com where I was joined shortly by Texas, Bugs, Dozer, Sandals, Tinkerbell, Mellonfarmer, Phatboy and Bernie the old boy Hilbers.  We rode round the shore and up the Scarboruogh Rd with the Old Boy leading all the way to Godley Dr.  This is a steep little bit of road but we all made it to the deer fence gate.  After opening this with my special key we rode on up the shingle rd, opening or climbing gates as we went.  At the road we turned right then left up the farm track and along the fenceline until we connected with the Godley Head track.  Right towards Evans after chatting with another group of riders.  3 continued nearly all the way down while the rest of us turned at the point that saved us climbing too much.  The return was better with me getting my eye in and getting use to the slippery surface.  A fast blast down to Livingstoone Col for a regroup.  As we started up mellonfarmer pulled over with a flat so I led off up here cleaning all except for 1 dab.  I think by now we were all riding much easier and at the top we just rolled on down to breeze Col.  Moost of us riding over PFMTBC Rock.  Out along the low track to Godley Head ducking under the wire hanging low before returning along the same way.  We found a way around the fence closing Anaconda before blasting down.  Only hiccup was some really greasy corners in the zigs and zags.  Then the tail before grinding up from Taylors.  The old man did really well and after stopping for coffee at Dotcom we all headed home.  Great day for a ride with mild weather and sun shining.
