Saturday 23rd Novemeber

Bugs picked up The Cook, Phatboy, Dozer and speed out to Yaldhurst where they meet up with Sandals and Helmet. Off to Craigieburn with the cloud clearing as we got to the mountains. Dropped 3 off at the cut then back to Castlehill village to pick up Sandals & Helmet where they left there car. All ready to go then Helmet had a puncher at the car. Up though Sidle 73 to the Ski-field road. Up here about a 1/3rd then up to the left and up to the Lydon's Saddle. 1st time up this way for all. Some had came down it a few years ago. Some steep pieces in places with us all having some issues keeping the wheels rolling as we should. The sun was cooking us when we were out of the trees. Rest up at the saddle then down the Luge with Phatboy leading followed by Helmet, Bug's, Dozer, The Cook and Sandals. Fantastic run down here with the tree roots all dry so we could hit them all with speed and confidence. Big smiles to all at the bottom. Up the road to Dracophyllum Flat track. Another fantastic blast down here to the river. Smiles all around again. Grunt up hill to the flat. Another good run down to the creek then up to the start of The Hog's Back. Slow grind up the steep start feeling the heat with most of us clearing it all. Up to Picnic rock then the run down the Hogs back. This was dry, firm and fast. Phatboy lead with Helmet, Bug's, Dozer, The Cook and Sandals close behind. Dust was flying and so was the smiles. Unfortunately before we knew it we were at the road at the bottom. Great day out, on a great track. Home by 4pm.
