Tuesday 3rd June

A cool breeze blowing but I picked up the Cook and headed upto the meeting point on Upper Major Hornbrook.  Bugs was waiting and shortly after we unloaded our bikes, Dozer joined us.   We headed up Lower John Brittain at a goodly pace, track in quite good condition with just a little greasiness to it.  The problem was the higher we climbed the less we could see.  Thick fog/cloud was coming in and the lights only made it  worse.  I wobbled lots but no dabs, and so did Dozer.  Decided to get onto the  road at the top rather than try Upper JB.  We dropped down to the saddle and then climbed Mt Pleasant.  Quite eerie riding up here with out any real distance to our vision, no landmarks.  Track was in excellent condition.  At the top the fog was thick making the ride down interesting.  It was super greasy on the Lyttleton side of the hill and rocks were testing us all.  Fog was so thick you were down to 10-15km an hour to stay upright.  Could not see anyone if they were any distance in front or behind.  We decided to skip greenwood due to speed restrictions and headed back to the car via the Greenwood entrance track.  Interesting but dryer which made for  a bit more speed even in the fog.  The new work on the entrance was a surprise to me.  Then down JB at speed, nearly having a good off but major dabbing kept me on when I hit the edge of the line.  Home by 8.  Short, cold and oh so interesting ride.
