Sunday 22nd March

Bugs rode to the meeting point out front of Rubberjaws place. Silver Fox was waiting then Dozer arrived followed by a text from Sandals who was running late and would meet them at the start of the hill. The 3 of us headed over to Huntsbury Hill as the text said and waited a little for Sandals. After a quick phone call we headed up the hill slowly without her. About half way up she pulled up in the Vitiz. She had read the text after a few drinks Sat and headed to Mt Pleasant by mistake. She joined the others and we continued on up into the mist n cloud. At the Traverse Dozer lead off followed by Bugs, The Fox and then Sandals. Nice clip around here with the 3 guy's riding close together. Quick stop at the half way mark then onwards to the top of Vic park. Regroup then into the two lower tracks before Dyers Pass. Up the road to the top of the Nun then down we went. Silver Fox leading then Bug's, Dozer and Sandals not far behind. Nearly a big pile up about half way down where a group of Asians were walking up the track on a Sunday stroll. Couple of choice words spoken as we went past. Onwards to Dyers pass for a regroup. Continued on down below the road to just below Vic park. Up the track to the skidder site. Down though the normal way with Bug's n Sandals heading down the steeper track to the right. Continued on down though Vic park to the start of The Hidden Track. Sign said Closed but we decided to check it out anyway. Bug's lead off cocking up the creek crossing as normal. Dozer cleared it but not sure about the others. Regroup at the fence then down we headed. Bug's leading with Dozer chasing, then The Fox and Sandals. Bugs n Dozer arrived at the bottom just in time to see The Fox pushing his bike down the track. Flat tire. After a bit of chatting while The Fox changed the tube he realized he had put the holed tube back in the tyre. Another change then we were off. Turned right at the end of Bowenvale Road and headed for a Beer, Chips and Coffee at the normal pub. The Fox headed home, Dozer n Bugs rode across town and Sandals headed back up the hill get get her car. 34Km ride.
