Took O and his buddy Tane into the park, buying Tane a 10 pass for his near-future-birthday, plus one for O. We lifted up and did the green all the way down to get Tane's eye in. Rough as, but everybody enjoyed it. I followed for a start, and Tane crashed in about the third corner, a high-side that he leaped off and ran with, then a little lower down I got past him and then O. Then I stopped and turned on the MMR. Caught them again and overtook and sped on ahead. On Active Rest I zoomed ahead again, getting quite a lead, then stopped and waited til I could see them coming and got going again. All good. Both boys enjoyed it and were game for more.
Round 2, hit Possum Lord and DOHC. Tane REALLY liked these ones. We all had good blasts down, I think Tane offed a couple times but he was fine. Back to the car for a bit of lunch after this run.
Then round 3, we headed down Yeah Gnar. Pretty dusty, and I caught some rookies (who probably shouldn't really have been in here, I mean, they were really struggling). I got past them and then the boys did too. Then some faster guys got past the boys, and I let them by, but a little lower down they let me by again cos I was definitely riding it quicker than them. The boys walked the worst steep bit, but rode everything else. Across the midpoint and into DOHC again. This was another good run and faster than the last. I'd been texting with Paul a bit earlier, and he was in the vicinity so came in and we caught up with him at the base, juices for the boys and an iced coffee for me. We were talking about another run, but after a quick blat on the pump track (while I hung with Paul) the boys decided they were knackered enough that we didn't need to do a final fourth run.
I forgot to turn the MMR off til most of the way down the access road...
