4th October 2007 - Barbon

5 turned out for the usable Bardon fell ride, basically you climb up, along, up some more tarmac, up some off-road, have a rest star gazing, eat some 'all-sorts', climb some more, splash through some mud, blast down tarmac and then start to navigate the last major downhill section, basically the section we all are waiting for, one or two dabs and we were down. Regroup and cross the river, at least Paul had a go, he has never been across this river before! so he got his feet wet, we continued to the last gate and re-grouped for a group hammer down the track to Barbon drive, all very enjoyable, not too cold. Much discussion about the areoplane routes, as we would see the plane flashing lights through the clear night sky, where were they all going...? and also how would all the rugby teams do, Grant (NZ) said it was Australian v's All Blacks semi-final, but what does he know!! Next ride from Ings for Garburn but which way round??
