Saturday 9th April 2016 - Satan's Post

A small posse met at mine for a 9am start.  It consisted of The Cook, Bugs, Mellonfarmer, Dozer and myself.  We headed around Hansens Park chatting about Bugs and Dozers ghost Road adventure and then up Huntsbury at a steady pace.  Brief stop on Aotea and again at the 1 st cattle stop before reaching the summit.  The Cook once again showing that he was much better than he was a while ago.  We then headed around the traverse with Mellonfarmer leading and I jumped in 2nd followed bu Dozer, Bugs and The Cook.  Good blast around here with a brief stop at the normal spot halfway.  Waited for a few to come past (they were heading towards us) but a couple of munters went through and pushed their way in.  We then followed them catching up and then up to the top of Vic park.  Down Thompson's and then the ride up to the top of Marley's.  Going up Worsley I cramped up so I only did the top half.  had a good run and then rode up to the top again.  meanwhile the others did the bottom half with Mellonfarmer getting a double snakebite.  They all came back up after the repairs.  Down the body bag which is sketchy and then down Old Skool Worsley.  This has changed so much.  Sketchy and greasy in places.  Dozer had an off but no major blood.   We chatted with Tim Prebble near the bottom.  He was handing out leaflets re the MTB park.  Down from here and into Far side where we all took differing lines.  I knee dabbed on the far side track.  We regrouped and then down and around to Zeroes for drinks and nibbles.  From here we rode on home.  Nice ride.
