Sunday 17th Feb

After a night of celebrating the birth of Mrs Sliverfox, there was a small team of Tinkerbell, Dozer and Bugs. We left Bug’s place round 9.20am and headed around the river towards St Andrews Hill. Headed up here at a good clip, sweating out the drinks from the night before. Before we knew it we were at the fence of the single track at the top. Little rest there then up the single track to the Summit Rd. 55minutes from Bug’s place to here. Turned left and dropped down to Greenwood. Tinkerbell headed straight into the track with Bug’s close behind and Dozer bringing up the rear. Nice ride down here passing a couple of guy’s on the way. Bug’s cleared the two rocky bits at the bottom with the others clearing half of them. Over the fence onto the road at Evans pass then up to the Godley track. The usual hit n miss over the rocky sections and into the down hill. Tinkerbell leading with Bugs hot on his tail till we got held up by some slower guy’s. Got past them at the bottom and straight into the uphill. Bit of a wobble at the top of Bushes double crack as we didn’t want to do a Rubberjaws. Nice run down the other side and over the PFMTB rock before the road. Quick chat here then into the Anaconda. Fast run down here till we got held up behind a solo rider half way down. Got past him then straight into the tail. Grind up the hill out of Taylors then down into Sumner. Called in at DotCom for Coffee. Surprised to see Mrs Bugs and the family there having breakfast. Head wind across the causeway then down the single track along the river. Dozer needed a rest so let his tyre down so we could watch him repair in. Back to Bug’s around 12.30 and had completed 32km.
