Mt Buller Weekend Part 2

So Sunday saw us all heading out to basically do the 25km loop that I had done the previous evening. The temp was about 3deg, and at the top of the mountain there was a strong freezing wind blowing. The mist was blowing in and out, so at some stages you had good visibility and at others next too nothing.

This is the view from the top of the horse hill chairlift, looking down to the bottom of the Abom downhill, and where the downhill riders were getting their ride back to the top of the international course that they were riding.




These signposts make riding the new tracks easy at all the intersections along the way.


More decision making on which way to go, so many tracks so little time



This is by far the best way to see the outdoors, from behind a set of these


Yep this track is switchback after switchback, a great while to climb up the side of a mountain


5 secs before I took this shot you could see the whole of Buller village. One thing I learnt that when you are in an alpine area even in March the weather can change so quickly.


This is a shot of some sunshine, did not see much of it on the weekend.

Bourke st without snow, Rob and I decided that we would ride straight up, just as it started hailing. Once at the top I knew that the rest of the ride would be downhill as we headed for the Klingsporn track again.


So it was down some familiar tracks and with the experience of the first time and some more appropriate tyres it was a much better descent.

So I will say it again, get up there and if you enjoy mountain biking do the Klingsporn, it is just a great track.

So that ends the weekend, we then had lunch at the cafe and were home for dinner. So we packed a great amount of fun and adventure in to our time away, and we all came away a little bit more balanced and refreshed to take on life's challenges again. Oh and already planning our next weekend away.
