| Up Rapaki along the summit road, taking all the mtb tracks along the way, to evans pass. down the road to lyttleton, i didnt know if there is a mtb track down to lyttleton from there. then up the Bridal path, almost managed to ride the whole thing. just before the last little bit where it zig zags, the back tyre sliped and my calf cramped up at the same time. i pretty much fell to the ground. after i picked myself up i walked 20 up the hill to a good spot to get started again, from there i managed to make it the rest of the way up. A much better effort than last weekend, when i made it about 100m. anyway, from there i road back the way i came on the summit road, on the mtb tracks. i kept on making my way around the top and came down the track on the east side of the bowenvale valley. then made my way home.
The Bridal Path is about 330m climb over about 1.5 km and mostly gravel. |

| Actually on a road blke this time. Tane left his one here while he went away for the weekend. my first time riding with spd's. only one mishap, i took one of my feet out pulling up to a round about. i tried to take off without clipping it back in. i ended up pushing on a funny angle and unclipping my other foot and then slid down in the middle of the round about.
Just a short ride to get out on the bike while i have it. |
