The secrete altitude training must be finished hey Hathill. Smiling

It will be by then - might be a slowish trip for me to the helipad as I adjust to the lower altitude Eye-wink

Comming back down will be worth the climb.

Hi Pete
This is a good night ride to start on as the trail is not very technical.

Cheers
Steve

You're not the first and won't be the last to make that mistake Pete. Smiling

Still would have been a great ride with the weather so nice today.

I might be a couple of minutes late, the wife is not home yet. Start without me and I will catch up.

What a fun filled night! Upon our arrival to the Helipad we had intellectual discussions ranging from terminal velocity, string theory, Einstein, I phone satellite magnets and the universe as a big doughnut.

On the way back down there was an intellectual debate about how much extra air really is in a 29er tube. Or is it that I just buy dodgy $10 pumps?

Chuck’s eye to detail enabled us to see an angry scorpion and a snake that had lost its way. Sorry about the lunch money joke, I think it was the lack of altitude training on my behalf.

There was also talk of a tall Mysterious figure somewhere along the single track. Maybe it was the Glenbrook Yowie? Or was it just a Kangaroo?
Cheers
Steve
