Karapiro / Whitehall / FrenchPass loop.
Windy when facing South, but fast finish.
A huge 5:30 faster than 10 days previously... Not sure how that happened!!
w Jas over Maungatautari. Up the old tramping track... down the new vehicle tracks.
Didn't quite make it all the way to the Southern Enclosure. Got out just before dark!
Tried out my new tramping stick. Definitely helps. Didn't like the handle much.
Loop of Forest Lake Park. Decided I would just go as hard as I felt like... but felt really good so steadily picked up the effort.
Just looked back to my last effort in Nov 2016. Same time exactly!
Wanted a short MTB ride, so decided to do my Leamington 8k circuit as the bush reserve can now be ridden.. Had to miss the river trail and the bit by the cemetary.
Good fun.
It was quicker than I expected.
