Old ghost road day 2. Pretty chill day in terms of distance and time. Started off with 8km and about 400m ascent from lyell saddle up to the tops. Bit of a harsh start for the butt after the unrelenting climb yday. Then some amazing single track and views along the top ridge. But all eyes on the track while.moving thanks to the precipitous drops off the side! Stopped for lunch and an explore at ghost lake hut, before 4km of hellish downhill. A fair bit of pushing and then a hike the bike down the staircase of doom to get off the tops. Solid workout! I took a spill on about the easiest section and managed to get a branch under my helmet. Missed my temple by a couple of cm but left a nice headache and bruise. So a tender face to go with my tender bum.
Ended the day with 8km or so of sweet flowing track down to stern valley hut though, after which all was forgiven. (We'l still give greg shit for his part in building the track though ;)
