Peleton of 1 to arboretum - others drove or rode from the north pole (aka Belconnen area). Used the opportunity to do some gardening in the zoo single tracks - cutting back blackberry and other bushes that had grown over the track in a few spots (hence the slow time today). Secateurs were useful but a small flame thrower would have been more effective. Pleasant coffee stop with 7 at coffee despite Vern and Rucks being absent. Rode back via a bit of Coombs then up to Stromlo edge - helped avoid the more sudden climb up Warragamba Ave.
