Only 3 of us heading out today. A late start to fit in with the Marleys Hill Planting and due to the weather we changed the plans slightly. We headed around Hansens and then up Huntsbury. Phatboy and The Cook cruising while I was pushing as hard as I could to keep up. Just kept grinding all the way with a couple of stops along the way. It was pretty cool. Regrouped at the top and then headed around the Traverse. Very wet from the outset. You could feel the water spalshing up on your legs and shorts. Made for cold riding. Not a bad run considering. At the top of Vic Park we took the road down to the Kiwi. Thompsons was closed. We had planned to drop into the MTB park but at that stage tracks were closed. We stopped at the Sign of Kiwi for hot drinks and a tasty pie. After this it was a grind upto the top of Marleys. Planting time. We planted for about 1.5 hours. Cold and slippery. We then decided to check out Worsleys. First time down here since the fire. The top was usual Worsley until not long after the first bend past the top entrance to the MTB Park. Slippery with an un-rideable mud patch we had to skirt. Then it becomes high speed gravel road until you hit the tarmac. It was bloody cold coming down. Sad to see this old original track gone. Down the tarmac and then followed the river along our usual route home. Phatboy peeling off first the The Cook.
I have included Phatboys ride as I did not have map my ride on.
