Sunday 29th November

Hills were covered in cloud and a slight drizzle but was keen to ride so Bugs rode to Rubberjaws place (who was not riding) then Dozer arrived. Rode around the river to Huntsbury where Tinkerbell was waiting. Headed up Huntsbury at a steady pace. The higher we rode the wetter the road was getting. One stop on the up then we arrived at the summit road. Tinkerbell lead into the Traverse with Bug's then Dozer following. Track was wet with a few puddles added to get the tyres wet. Bug's hit the 1st lot of rock and slipped n dabbed his way over them. Felt like riding on icy with slicks. The others had a couple of small issues but everyone kept upright. Headed around to Vic park with the cloud getting thicker and the drizzle getting heaver. Could only see 100m in all directions as we headed up the road to the top of Marleys. Decided to give the Nun a miss and dropped into the Body Bag. Same order as before. Bug's had some issues with deep ruts so Dozer got past. Up into the forest where we headed down the old original way. Track was dry under the trees so we kept the speed up. Down we headed then down fight club. Great ride down here by all and before we knew it we were at the bottom. Up the 4WD track to Worley's where we found the Trees had all gone from the lower track. Headed down where we used to ride to the carpark. Crossed the road then into a new track though the paddock to where we used to park the cars. Down the tarseal we headed to the tracks at the bottom. Great ride though here as the track was dry and the weather improving. Out the bottom then around to Tinkerbells where we had a coffee and some home baking with the family. Dozer n Bug's headed off across town to Ruberjaws place. Dozer loaded his bike into the van while Bug's headed around the river to his. Great ride 32km with no regroups required.
