Tuesday 4th May

Dozer picked up Bugs and drove to the meeting point at Halswell quarry. Arrived just as Rubberjaws texted to say he was pulling out and not riding. Tinkerbell arrived then The Cook and Phatboy. Quick chat then up we headed though the park. Up the single track we headed with Phatboy leading then Dozer, Tinkerbell, Bugs and the Cook. Up the Crocodile which was dusty but very firm. Spread out a little with most clearing all on the up. Dozer stopped at the bridge to move his lungs out of his throat. Got to the gate where we all caught our breath while we waited for The Cook. He arrived and had a short break then up we continued in the same order though the paddocks. Most cleared all the ups except for the one steep grunty bit in the middle. At the gate four of us headed onwards to the top gate at the trees while The Cook made his way to the gate. Great quick run down here then back to the gate. Phatboy lead on the down with Bugs behind then Tinkerbell, Dozer and The Cook. Dusty as for those towards the back. Regroup at the gate then continued on the down. Fast ride down here with lots of Dust for the ones following. Down to the end then back up the new down Diversion track. Past a couple of big black cows then returned just before we meet the Crocodile track. Tinkerbell had a light issue just past the small hedgehog as we headed down the new down. Phatboy took the old top track and we regrouped just for the end. Down though the paddocks and back to the cars. Short ride then Dozer n Bugs stopped for a quick pint on the way home.
