Our group of farmers has dwindled a bit of late, I think that winter has taken it's toll. It's still winter here, I'm told by my daughter who goes to school in Slummies.

We decided to ride in the mountains again, it being month end. So I put togather a short ride, with huge elevation gains, up Dohne Peak, and we had to do a bit of portaging, downhill...

The views to the North(ish), on the way up, we had to stop for a breather..

genet is part of loop A the last section . It gets gnarly though.

 

Barrys point is at the top of the brick road and comes down to join the green route .

Also got some gnarly rock faces. Let me know we can go together.
