So if you were to do the Mirimbah Cafe shuttle to TBJ, that would obviously eliminate the 'boring' 100% fire trail descent from Stonefly.
How would that stack up/rate as a ride then? Obviously still a lot of climbing, but at least it would remove the whole "I've just climbed Stonefly, now I lose all that elevation on $%^#@ firetrack!!! Fark!!!"
From what I've read thus far, my preference is still to do the 'traditional' Buller XC loop of Corn Hill/Silk Lane/Stonefly out and back (getting both Stonefly and Corn Hill descents). Then on another day shuttle to TBJ, climb/descend the 'end' of Epic, then finish with Delatite or Klingsporn runs...
