Saturday 28th december

Could it be the last ride of the year.  possibly cos the weather is shite.  Raining this morning but I was going stir crazy and wanted a ride.  Only the Cook was keen so I headed off via tarmac to the Ferrymead Bridge where the Cook was waiting.  Rain was falling but we headed up St Andrews Hill anyway.  Turned right onto Marama and followed the Cres around its length.  Nice way of riding actually.  Kept on up the hill until the flat section at the top of Major Hornbrook. We decided not to head up the hill any further due to the weather starting to close in.  Left onto Mt Pleasant Rd and then rode up here until the Moncks Spur turn off.  Down here until the next intersection where we hung a left towards McCormacks Bay.  Rain came in thick about here drenching us.  From here we rode around the bay stopping briefly at the farmers market before heading home.  At least we got some hill in.  Will try later in the year for another ride.
