Tuesday 5th January

Dozer meet at Bug's place and the two rode to Rapaki where Tinkerbell was awaiting. Phatboy arrived shortly afterwards having rode to Bug's and followed the others to Rapaki. After a quick catch up we headed up Rapaki at a nice pace admiring the views all around. All arrived at the top with no stops and still within a group. Bit cooler at the top so Phatboy lead up Vernon with Bug's, Dozer then Tinkerbell bringing up the rear. Another chat at the start to the Traverse. Headed off in the same order. Passed a couple on the way with Phatboy pulling away from 1/2 way. Regroup in the pines then Dozer lead down though the Rock garden and the normal tracks to the bottom. Great ride down here by all. Dover lead on the up into the hidden valley. Bug's got the rocky creek with one foot down at the top. Phatboy cleared it as well. Not sure about Tinkerbell so we will say he cocked it up. :-) Dozer got passed by all on the up as the steepness got the better of him. Phatboy lead on the down followed by Bug's, Dozer and Tinkerbell. Great rode down with the track getting quite rocky in places. Out the bottom then down to the tarsel. Tinkerbell turned left and headed home while the others headed across town. Phatboy turned of towards his place while Bug's and Dozer headed to the start at Bug's place. Great ride for the 1st one of the year. 24km.
