Saturday 6th October

A knock on the door and here was some English guy called nick that mellonfarmer organised to ride with us. mellonfarmer however did not ride.  The rest of the posse arrived including, Dozer, Bugs, Silverfox, Tinkerbell, Phatboy, The cook and Sandals.  We headed off around Hansens Park, checking out the new unfinished path then started the grind to the top of Huntsbury..  Regrouped in the usual spots.  Phatboy had to wait longest as his bike rode fastest.  Finally at the top gate we discovered Texas had headed out alone so we incorporated him into the posse.  At the top we all sorted ourselves into order and headed around the traverse track at good pace, 1 quick regroup and then onwards.  They have fixed the dipper after all the rain.  At the top of Vic park we regrouped only to discover the Cook had gone down the hill.  Phatboy went down and bought him back up as he was waiting at the landing strip.  from here it was down Thompsons and then climbed to the top of marleys.  We had a flyer down the NUN with another gathering by the Kiwi.  Silverfox was proudly wearing battlescars and leaking fluid from a knee dab.  Down the old Dyers track and juddering pace and after gathering we headed up to the skidder site.  Here we went down Shazzas.  nicks inexperience with downhills showed so he went down the 4wd tracks to the bottom of Brents.  Phatboy and i racing down Brents with him getting a slight edge into a corner.  From here bridges and flow were dispensed with.  At the bottom of hidden valley track nick headed out while the rest of us clambered up and the flew down Old school.  great ride with a few tired bods at the end.  bring on the trip.
