Due to all sorts of car related shenanigans I did not ride Tuesday through to Thursday. Friday was a welcome relief as I had the opportunity for a superb ride at the Makara Peak park after work. I ended up leaving work a little later than anticipated, but still managed a good 40 minute ride, as the light began to fail, especially under the canopy of the Makara bush.
My confidence was up, and while the tracks were pretty muddy, it was pretty good overall.
It was my fastest time up Koru so far. I had a way better time on the way down on the switchbacks, which helped my confidence no end.
Awesome ride!
