Out to the trails at Lake Leschenaultia and, taking Juffy's advice, avoided the blue "rock gardens". 3 loops taking in the green options and that was enough for me. Don't think I'm cut out to be a downhill racer - I find banging over rocks and logs just bloody annoying. I can understand the attraction of sweeping bends and jumps but not keen enough to put up with the rest of it.

The inclement weather meant that by the time I got to the start at Tomato Lake, everyone else had pulled out. Thus, unfettered by the leader's plan, I cruised around most of the original course but had an early, quick coffee at Tranby and short cut the return from Windan along Surrey Road in Rivervale back to the lake. Copped two showers but found enough shelter to avoid a soaking. Not surprisingly, very few walkers and riders out and about.

Started checking the Roleystone map for the MTBO Long Champs. Found an unmapped old track but otherwise not much has changed - pea gravel is still hard work!
