Early morning drive out to the D.I.S. with Dave and Josh to meet Rob P and Kathryn at Traralgon. Parked the cars in the bush somewhere about 15kms north of the main highway and unloaded the bikes. A mid sized Tiger Snake slithered off from underneath Josh's bike, scary! Rode down for a bit then pushed up for a bit. Cruised along until we arrived in Walhalla via a few ups and downs. Felt pretty strong the whole way.

Locked the bikes up and ran along a trail which ran along the Thompsons River for 20 minutes then turned around and ran back. Trail was reasonably flat and a little overgrown. Time and distances are approximate.

Rode back to the cars via an old rail trail, then dropped down to Coopers Pass (?). Had a decent climb out of here where I bonked. Stopped and drank all of Rob's sport's drink which I had been carrying all day, and recovered quite quickly. Got back to the cars in about 1hr5min and 15kms. Met Dave and Kathryn who agreed to drive the cars into Traralgon so we could ride down the road, which was generally downhill. Sat on the back while Josh and Rob swapped turns on the front. Pace was fast! Attacked with a couple of kms to go, but didn't last too long. Again, time and distance is approximate.
