Three dirty tools avec mtb made it to the starting point on a fine but overcast morning for a different challenge to normal. your correspondant, le jardinier and le bandit(out of hibernation) set off for the hills at a respectable pace. Now there was a late withdrawal (you know who you are Monsieur Rapide) who pulled out siting some techno-babble about crank widths and unfamiliar equipment and the challenges that await in the ssss.
As you'd expect le bandit set a good pace up mont medecin george, that soon got the heart rate up. a few sweeping descents and the coast was in site. making it to tathra we found heather cycling along but she'd forgotten her mtb so she wasn't able to enjoy the delights of the forest like the three dirty tools. Le jardinier enjoyed a restorative café noir, while the other two tools hit the poo pond track, with the bandit displaying what he has been doing during his hibernation and showing a clean pair of heels. we regrouped at the fire shed for another burst of single track.
the exhilatating descent down the fire trail followed to the beautiful clear waters of Games bay. We all then enjoyed the meandering bush track emerging near wallagoot lake and a short repás at wine glass bay.
From here we traversed some pleasant bush and farmland avoiding as many sealed roads as possible on the return run to bega. A coffee well deserved for all after about 4 hours in the saddle and a pretty good tempo sustained through out.
