Sunday 17th April

Tinkerbell, Silverfox and I left mine at nine promptly expecting to meet Phatboy at Ferrymead Bridge, as we headed around the river I got a call from him wondering where we were.  He was at mine.  We cruised along while he gave chase.  We waited at the bridge before we all headed up St Andrews, Marama etc all the way up to Upper Major Hornbrook.  I led off up here and out onto the Summit Rd in very barmy weather.  Up Broadleaf Lane before heading down the Mt Pleasant Tract.  I led having a good run (makes up for the uphill) meeting a largish posse and taking some off piste lines.  Regrouped at the Col before dropping along the Summit Rd to castle Rock Track.  We all had a good run until the biggest group of riders started coming through.  We waited at the first hairpin chatting to Rex who was in the group.  Canterbury MTB Club.  After they got through we continued.  The last climb looming and bugger me days some arsewhle came down without giving way to me on the last grunt.  The ##@$%$#@ should of pushed him off. Down the road and over Witch Hill with more riders coming up.  Top of Rapaki was cream your pants city with lots of bodies around.  Over Mt Vernon and then along the Summit Track before heading down towars Bownvale.  Lots of free riding here rather than any lines.  Regrouped and then down down down we went taking different lines before hitting the single track.  No accidents along the way although the track was sketchy in a few spots.  Phatboy cleaned the sketchy exit.  Home we went not stopping for coffee as we all had things to do.
