Sunday 8th September

Watched the Americas Cup race then jumped on my bike and hauled ass around to Phatboys where we were meeting Mellonfarmer was there and I was shortly followed by Bugs and Dozer.  The 5 of us headed up Kilmore then through Hagley and joined Tinkerbell and Silverfox at the intersection of Kilmarnock and the railway line.  We headed down the cycle path at a good steady clip to Tuckers Rd then we headed by road to Greywacke Rd and into the Omaka scout camp entrance.  Rode along a track and started planting trees for 2 hours.  Great planting weather and a great crew.  Ate some bbq sausages and hopped back onto the bikes.  We reversed the ride, getting some good pace for most of the trip.  Dropped off Silverfox and Tinkerbell at the van and continued through the park and down Armagh.  I headed down Barbadoes and home, Bugs and Dozer headed their own way home while Mellonfarmer and Phatboy stopped at Poms for a beer.  Great ride and a great planting.
