Night riding

The tracks on the Port Hills were open last night, so we took the opportunity to do some night riding. We rode up Rapaki in the gloom, and enjoyed the cool but perfect riding temperature. As we hit the top, the lights went on as we rode the single track to Victoria Park. As it was little bit soft in places, I was glad I had fitted my winter tyres on the weekend. We then dropped down through the tracks in Victoria park down to Bowenvale Avenue. Soft and a little muddy in places again, it was only as we hit the four wheel drive track at the bottom that it became very messy. Twenty or thirty cattle were grazing down there and had destroyed the track. The bikes were covered in mud and manure as were we! Home shortly after to a hot shower.
