Another lovely day, another lovely ride. Took our lunch this time, so we could stop where we wanted. Yarra Valley, near Rubicon.
...various dirt roads around the Upper Yarra and Bunyip forests. Found some new and interesting ones.
The top of the world famous in Wellington Rimutaka Grand Prix track (Hutt Valley side) Of course its much easier than in my day they have smoothed out many of the corners and stopped rocks falling.
Many happy memories of spending Saturday afternoons chasing some very, very fast riders up that hill. Shades of the Reefton I expect except we were better.
and low and behold the Aussies are spoiling the party.
And they've been at it for a while!
