Hung tapes for Judy near Smythesdale. Chose this area in the hope there were no March Flies. Not one. The March Flies are thick over near Enfield so much relieved.

Rode whilst waiting for Judy to finish. Rode around the Watson Mine area on the edge of Smythesdale. Better area for mining than Surface Hill but would not tackle it as a project without really good contours. Would be a great area for the MTB community to turn int a custom MTB track. Really had fun here.
Rode at Browns reef whilst waiting for Judy to finish. I thought the many small tracks on the map might be MTB tracks but they were Motorbike tracks and almost unrideable. Gave up and then stuck to the bigger tracks. Mostly just as hard and not very inspiring ride.

Visited Lian in Bendigo so went with Judy to Browns Reef and hung tapes for her. A lot more Coffee Bush than I remember. Visibility quite low in areas. Sooooo many spiders. Had a mat of webs on my chest and hair when finished.
