Simon organised this tour, but piked out at the
last moment, crying for milk from his momma! *just
fucking with ya*
So Chris and I took our second run up
the mammoth that is Taylor. Feeling a shit load
fitter than the last time, we made it up and back in
under an hour.
Starting from the Athlon Drive dirt
carpark, we headed up the concrete path again, but found
it wasn't as much of a lung-burster this time, I
still had the best lactic acid build up in my legs
though, could've cooked an egg on there! So with 4 stops
or so, we made it to the summit.
An awesome
sunset was the view as we sat, talked and recovered from
the climb.
This time we took the four wheel drive
trail down to a car park behind Chifley, a famous spot
for young blokes to take chicks in there manly cars
for a good time :)
There we tonnes of water bars on
the way down that were loads of fun, although I
couldn't get the bike in the air too often as we were
going too fast :)
From the bottom we headed back
around the base of Taylor on the easy flat path dirt
road and were amazed by every bloody house having a
tennis court in the backyard, there's too much money
there!
Instead of heading straight to the car park we found an
excellent track that heads parallel to the dirt road
between the carpark and Athlon Drive, it was only
slightly downhill and had 10 or so jumps where I found it
easy to pull some air, good practicing point as you
can easily control your speed, unlike when your
burning down the mountain!
That track landed us on the
Athlon Drive bitchumen bike path and a short ride back
up the cars. An excellent run and I'm still wanting
to go back again.....
