Forrest Creek - Was fun, hard going uphills

Collecting controls

Event: Auckland Champs
 

Rock Climbing with Dad and Claudia at Cable Bay at the new place that Dad and Silvano put bolts in. Was really fun, did some lead climbing, its quite freaky at the top when you have to untie the rope to thread it through and you are just hanging by the sling, especially when you have to do it twice because you put the rope through the wrong bit. Heaps of fun though, will have to go and do the other half of the cliff bit next time I am home.

Up Barnicoat with Dad and Steve, was good going up, 38min to get to the top, it was nice doing a good uphill like that as I havn't done a ride like that for ages, it was dark and we rode into the fog. Slowest downhill EVER because I only had a head lamp for light and Dad and Steve had flash riding ones, had to rely on them for light basically. Was quite scary biking without really being able to see where you are going. Then we rode home.

Bike ride with Mum up Codgers track to Tantragee saddle, in the pouring rain, got to the saddle and wasn't allowed down the other side because of logging. It was fun.
