Sunday 9th February

The boys, Tinkerbell, Bugs, Dozer and Mellonfarmer met me at mine and we headed up Crapaki for the sights.  A steady climb with a cool headwind all the way.  The top stretch was a bitch.  We headed over Mt Vernon with Mellonfarmer leading, stopping occasionally to see if we were following.  He really did not need to.  Around the Traverse Track and then after a wee break in the Macrocarpas at the top of Vic park we dropped down to the skidder site via the Rockgarden and the Gums.  We checked out all the new Giants on display and even rode a couple before heading down Shazzas, Brents, etc and then climbing up Hidden Valley before doing Old Skool.  We were out the bottom by 11.20 so off for coffee.  Never going back to Kaizuki its shit.
