mmmm Snowy..I did the the full loop on Saturday morning but it was far from a nice easy ride in the sticks
When I got to the top of the mountain (whichever mountain that was
) there was only about 4 or 5 sets of fresh tracks at most. Mind you descending the mountain was sheer bliss and some of the tight twisty bits in the lower paddocks and the many creek crossings were absolute heaven and super picturesque. I cheated though and took the RL, I was passed in the lower sections but I had the near all the tracks to myself excepting another fast guy on a PE400. At one stage I was thinking "oh joy! I must be insane!!, if I break down or get stuck up here it's gonna take me all bloody weekend to get me and my bike out!!"
fortunately that's all the motivation I need to press on..mission completed
Bottom line, the enduro loop was testing. It felt more like 180k's not just 8 but it was also a hell of lot of fun
I wouldn't like to ride it all day or I'd be in bed very early that night and riding the next day could be out of the question
