Saturday 17th May

The Cook was running a tad late as he had a puncher when he got his bike outta the shed. Headed down Ferry Road where he meet Bugs at end of his street. Headed along Ferry road then made our way up St Andrews Hill to Upper Major Hornbrook Rd. Over the fence then up the single track though the paddocks. Wasn't too bad considering the recent rain. Regroup at the summit road then down into Greenwood. 1st Puddle about 5m into track followed by another and another. Looked like Greenwood was going to be wet n muddy. Proved to be that all the way down with some normally ridable patches now unridable. The Cook having one little mishap on the way down. Arrived at the bottom gate to the summit rd with bikes and riders caked with mud. Decided to give Ct Thomas a go as we were muddy anyway. Bugs lead with The Cook behind. Track was just as muddy as Greenwood which made some of the rocky drops interesting. Couple of regroups along the way then down though the new lower piece. Very muddy along here with a few new holes appearing in the track. Walked the bridge over the creek at the bottom as it was half washed away. On the tarsal to remove the mud from the tyres. Into Dot Com for a Hot Chocolate then home via the track behind Ferrymead. Muddy by nice 25km ride.
