This is more of a :what did you do with your bike the last 3 days" post since relaxing and posting seem a bit asymmetrical.
Went for a ride from our caravan at Lake Meadowbank out along gravel roads to the top of hill of unknown name of about 630 meters elevation. It's bit of a grind but worth it for the view.
That's Mt Anne in the distance. Maydena is the furthest bit of open ground with a few buildings in it. This was on the 31st and it was 31c. The racers at Maydena must have been smoking hot. I supposed they settled for showers and some cool drinks. We went for a ski on the lake.
The top of this mountain has a fire lookout and 4-5 Telstra towers. The ride down s a hoot!
Bikes resting before resuming the journey.
Today on the way home we decided to go to Maydena. I hadn't been to the bike park and it was my wife's idea. That was a bit of a win. She would only do it if we rode green trails. I was cool with that as it's a start. Actually, it was a lot of fun. Watch a bit of the racing. (don't see much in bike racing). Headed to the cafe on the corner next to the bike park for the best milkshakes in Tasmania.
On the way back to the car bikes were being loaded on to trailers to go to Queenstown. I took this photo. I am sure I saw this Banshee posted somewhere on Rotorburn recently.
