Monday 15th October.

After a night of no sleep due to nerves I faced my demons and got on the Gondala along with the rest.  Right up til climbing on I was gonna give it a miss.  Ending up going up 7 times and only shitting my pants 7 times.  The tracks were awesome.  Some of us still rode as a group while others headed off to do their own thing.  Some awesome runs down tracks like Hammys, Vertigo and Singletrack sandwich.  Some fast and some hitting jumps and berms.  Even rode a boardwalk at speed.  After lunch we followed Mellonfarmer down and up a track.. Wrong track. Luckily we did not follow blindly and we set off to find the correct track.  This was a grunt with a lotta pushing uphill.  After regrouping we then followed like sheep.  A few big windfalls and once again a group assisting each other through these while the quick bods went their merry way. finally we found a track that was 100% rideable.  Quick descent to look at a jumps area and after this a few bods did the sheep thing while the rest of us went home to shower and get food organised.  great meal, Thanks Bugs for the Venison food donated.  Some drinks before going to watch some footage.  For me this was spoiled by stupid comments.  Bed.
