Tuesday 8th February

Dozer meet at Bug's place just as the southerly hit the hills. Headed towards Rapaki with the head wind getting stronger. Decided to head to Huntsbury Hill instead as this looked more sheltered. Headed up the hill taking the straight instead of the normal left upto the top of the steps. Found this quite steep as we got around the 1st bend. Up we headed until just before the shingle and sheltered behind a parked car from the dust n wind. Even some wheely bins were moving around. Up we headed to the top of old School then down we went. Dozer lead down the farm track taking a few of the off shoots which were tricky with the wind blowing us around. At the single track Dozer lead off until the 1st major corner where something went wrong and Bug's took the lead. Track was flowing quick as we chased down a guy ahead. Both got past him about half way down. Down though the lower corners and out onto the 4WD track at the bottom. Over the fence then headed across town to the Twisted Hop for a pint of the good stuff. Back to Bug's place as it was starting to drizzle.  19.5km and a enjoyable ride in the end.
