Took Arnie the dog a walk at 7.30am and it was fine drizzle, looking across toward the hills it was misty rain. TV weather forecast was 'Periods of Rain', so I decided to flag going out for a ride.

10.30am Sun was shining. That about sums up my week.

Country And Hills Ride – Whitemans Valley Loop Link: Map

Meet At McDonalds Fergusson Drive Silverstream
The Ride
Blue Mountains/Whitemans Valley/Mangaroa/Maymorn/Te Marua/Mangaroa Hill/Wallaceville Hill/Silverstream

This ride presents challenges: the Blue Mountains Road is a constant 1km climb with winding slow speed bends, and both Mangaroa and Wallaceville Hills present short sweeping corners both up and down each hill. Novice riders may want to consider exploring this ride with an accompanying rider beforehand.

As always ride your own ride.
