Tuesday 25th September

Grabbed the cook and headed up to meet the posse at the Sign of Takehe.  There was Phatboy, Tinkerbell, Silverfox, Dozer, Bugs, Nelsie, and Mellonfarmer.  Up into Vic Park wiith 3 distinct groups forming, fast, medium and slow.  Me being the slowest.  What is it with me and Tuesday night rides.  Up we went to the bit where we turnt off and headed down the off road track to the old Dyers track.  Some mentioned how much they love this track....yeah right.  Up we went with the same groups forming, me at the back.  grinding up here.  3/4s of the way up I finally found some energy and started to gain on the back 2.  Onto the road by kiwi and then chatted with Bugs and The Cook until we caught up to the posse.  Then the last little climb to the top of Marleys and straight into the downhill. Not a bad run, dust in the air which slowed me down but once I had clear air it was much more fun.  We left mellonfarmer and nelsie to head back to their car on the bottom of Worsley and the rest of us headed upto the top of Vic.  great run down through the tracks to the skidder site.  No 2 people taking the same line.  We then did the track to the road and then down to the walking track that we should not do.  I led down here gaining some nice speed, giving some whoops and hollas when I went over a drop without realising it.  back to the cars and home by 8.30.  more up than down but good ride all in all.
