Sunday 17th August

What a wonderful day for a ride. Bugs meet Tinkerbell and The Fox at the bottom of Huntsbury. Dozer arrived shortly afterwards then we all headed up and up. All arrived the start of the Traverse at the same time. After watching some of the sights around Tinkerbell headed into the Traverse with Bugs following and Silver Fox close behind. Dozer was bringing up the rear which I am sure he enjoyed. Great clip of speed riding the rocky bits we normal go around. Very short regroup at the half way point then a slight change of order and around to Vic Park. Down though the two short bushy bits and then we arrived at Dyers Pass. Drink time for Dozer as he had left his bottle at home. Up the road to the top of Worsley's then it was decided to back track and do a loop of the Nun. Track was in fantastic condition considering it had a closed sign which we didn't see. Back up the road to the top of Worsley's for the 2nd time then we all took different roots down the body bag. Still very rutty. Though the big mud hole at the bottom then up the single track to the start of the Bee line. Headed down the old Bee line track with Dozer leading, Tinkerbell very close behind then Bugs and the Fox not far behind. Continued all the way down to the farm track at the bottom. Bit of a mud bath on the track back up to Worsley's with Bugs getting cramp in his thigh and most of use having to walk the odd muddy section. Dozer then spent the next 20 minutes removing the mud from his tyres so they would spin. Down though the last bit in the pines to the tarsel. Speed down here to remove the last of the mud off the tyres then though the gate and into the new track. This was interesting on the steep down hills but we all got though without any mishaps. Down the last of the road to Tinkerbells for Coffee. The Fox, Bugs and Dozer headed off from here with The Fox turning off to his place, Dozer turning off towards his and Bugs headed home. Great ride in the sun and the spa was lovely at the end.
