Tuesday 8th Septemeber

Dozer picked up Bug's and drove to Upper Hornbrook Road where The Cook was waiting in his nice warm car. Bikes off the racks and headed to the gate on single track though the Paddocks. Bug's lead on the up with Dozer behind, then The Cook. We spread out on the up then had a regroup before the summit road. The Cook was feeling the ups as he was still recovering from the flu. Headed below the road on the John Britten track towards the Mt Pleasant Shared track. Up the Mt Pleasant track in the same order. The Cook was quietly dieing and dropped further behind. Regroup about half was up then continued at a slower pace. Onto the 4WD track before the aerials where The Cook decided to continue on to the top. Up we went to the top then headed down in the same order again. Bug's gaped Dozer a little and Dozer gaped The Cook. Regroup at the junction on Greenwood. The Cook had had enough and headed down the 4WD track to the road then back to his car and home to bed. Bug's lead into Greenwood with Dozer not to far behind. Chased a few sheep off the track but had a ok run. Bug's missed the usually rocky up before the end and Dozer had a small issue as well. Up the road with Dozer nearly having a woopsee on the up and just about nearly knocking Bug's off as well. Unknown cause and then we continued up to Mt Pleasant. Straight into the down though the paddocks at a cracking pace. Bikes back into the car then off for a beer at The Twisted Hop. Not long there and we were joined by Phatboy, MacGyver, Rubberjaws and Mellonfarmer.    These last four had been Trees For Canterburying, prior to which MacG and MF had had a bit of a dally on the similar hills to Dozer, Bugs and Cookie
