Jagged some more great weather. Don't know how we do it.

Always a great ride, but seeing as I've been off the bike for a couple of weeks, it was strange that I had so much left in the tank. So I decided I'd better not waste it.

So it was a Megalong afternoon tea at the Beef Door!

Starting off the, ah, back way (looking pretty rough, that one I must say), popping out onto the blacktop, hitting the hairpins far too fast, big-ringing it all the way down to the Megalong Beef Door, where I meet the missus and the car. A half-hour sampling gourmet Angus beef sausages and fine cuts of steak, for nothing, then picking up a tray of garlic and wild mushroom sausages and driving back home before the weather comes in.

Chilling out to Burning Spear, nursing a Monteith's Black, listening to the wind howl and the rain whip against the windows, feeling the temperature drop (now 1.5 degrees), reflecting on a pretty standard Sunday in the mountains.

Pretty standard, but days don't get much better....

Great day on the trail - bit of an explore as well
And perfect weather with just a few puddles
And a great crew as usual

I'm kicking back in my singlet tonight
Mildly altering my conciousness
Waiting for a couple of pizzas
Grand olive pizzeria in Wenty - the best!
Fires roaring like the wind

Not a bad place to be is it?

Don't tell everyone how good it is, they'll all be up here.

On the other hand - great day today even if it was a bit nippy to start with and that red mud gets into everything! Oh well, it's a small price I'm prepared to pay for some sweet riding.

Those berms were altering my consciousness... Sticking out tongue

those berms are definitely trippy Andrei

We should take a camera down one day
We could get some good shots around the berms and on the kicker

So what are we doing next weekend?? Sticking out tongue
