Time for an update!!
so its Sunday, Day 2... head on all the way to wentworth falls on the train, met my mate and started heading towards the track. A few kms of following the rd and we decided to check out the aboriginal site, noted on the
www.thefathippy.com guide to anderson trail guide, which was down the Inga trail. We got to the site and the closest we found to anything like that was graffiti carved in the rock with things like 'I love cait'. We also saw a geodetic station, [sarcasm] oh wow exciting! [/sarcasm]. The views were incredible though and a great photo opportunity for my mate:
Heading a little bit further and there is a long and fast downhill on the road topping my max speed with 62.1km/h (on a heavy dualie mind you!)
We hit a dirt road and its downhill fun from here on in.
There are small uphills but many long and fun downhills, great speeds and plenty of waterbars to get some air off.. After a while of this I manage to get TWO pinch flats in one go. I think my tyres were probably a bit under pressure so oh well. Then one of the new tubes while pumping, develops a tear in the side of the valve. While squating down to do some pumping my left knee cracks(The same way your knuckle cracks) and hasn't been the same since. It's strange because it hurts when I bend it all the way, but walking, running cycling etc doesn't do anything. Soooo, we're ready to go after 3 spare tubes and about 45mins of this:
We then head off and get some more crazy downhills... incredible fun!!! my friend nearly went over his handlebars hitting the only sandy part of the entire trail:
Shortly after is the craziest part of the whole trail... its a rocky and very steep downhill with huge waterbars for air... The adrenaline was pumping so hard but I'm sure my mate's was worse as he was doing it with our k-mart special hahaha...
When we finally reach the bottom, the fun ends for a while... because there is about 3-4kms of steep uphills and plenty of walking. once reaching the top we stop at the gate at the other end of the trail for a drink:
and a well earned rest
There is a another few kilometres on the road and then we finally reach the woodford train station.
We decided not to do the oakes because of time deadlines and we were pretty exhausted. It's something that I think we're going to do next week!!!
