Rode the route that was in MBR recently.
Perfect weather no wind and Sunshine all day.
I tip my hate to you if you clear that first climb dab free.
Awesome day roll on CyB tomorrow.

We did the Batch Burner charity event a few weeks ago - some crushing climbs but some great descents too!

I guess it's the main car park through the rivers then turn right for a 100 metres of rocks then up to the top.

Rode it for the first time a couple of years ago on the CRC mountain marathon. Was amazing (until I caught someone and could not pass them).

I discovered Townbrook Hollow a few weeks back - what an awesome trail that would be. Were it not a footpath. Ahem.
Deserted at 8 am too.

I know. I was up there today testing a Covert and a Banshee.

The descents are bloody good fun though so it kind of makes up for it. Fantastic day today though...the views were amazing. I've never been there before but really enjoyed it and intend to go again both on the bike and for walking.

It's just my favourite place to ride...

I think the climb up may be Long Batch then?
