Mark has a different path plotted for our ride down from the escarpment and it looks awesome as we approach…..

What a great ride !

as the descent got steeper, it looked like we had gone off track and we were struggling to find a way down.
Mark using Google Maps satellite view to try and spot the track down...

Turns out it was somewhere right in front of us…

What followed was some of the most tiring riding/walking/lifting I have ever done

 

[Noneking]

We both dropped our bikes multiple times, mostly while walking them down impossible inclines, back wheels dragging in first gear with engine switched off

We were properly poked…. Sweltering heat and picking up 990s really takes ot out of a youngster…

In the distance one can see the track we followed on Friday making our way up the mountain.

We eventually make it all the way down and rush to a little stream to cool off..
