Tuesday 7th June

Dozer picked up Bugs and headed to Upper Hornbrook road, Waiting there was Tinkerbell, Phatboy, The Cook and MacGyver. The wind was strong and cold from the East as usual for that spot. After Phatboy fixed his light (Plugged it in) we headed though the new gate. Found the old fence which we climb over has been pulled down. MacGyver lead on the up on his single speed with Phatboy and rest following behind. Wind was pushing us around a little on the up with us all reaching the top gate not too far apart. Headed around John Britten to the cattle stop with some of us having a couple of small issues on the rocks with wet tyres. Across the road and fence then after admiring the city lights we headed up towards the Aerials. Some or most of us had some issues with the wind, rocks and lack of peddle power. Regroup at the top then into the down. Phatboy had a issue just after the slippy rocks. After a quick fix onwards we headed. Phatboy, MacGyver and Tinkerbell in close formation with Bug's then Dozer not far behind. The Cook was not too far behind. Regroup at the turn off to Greenwood and the decision was to head left on Greenwood towards the summit road. Bit different going this way over the rocks. All got though with the odd rock catching us out. Up the road then down though the shared track to the cars. Great night ride of 6.8km-7.2km :-)

Off for a beer at the Twisted Hop.
