A somewhat enlarged pelotonette departed PMH on Sunday for ascent of Cooper's Knob. Signing on were Ludo, Duclos, Yatesie, Marco, Johan, Roberto and Miguel. The route round the downs and past Rossendale was punctuated with disruptions to the road surface, the worst of which was a 30cm shelf on the other side of the road. Duclos bailed at at Tai Tapu with some fairy excuse about the man flu.
The commencement of the gradient at the start of Gebbies Pass saw Johan shoot off the front looking like a man with some aggression to vent. He waited for the group at the start of Cooper's and everyone suffered at their own pace on the higher slopes of the climb. Routes are a bit restricted at the moment due to closures for the repair of earthquake damage. One piece of news supplied by Marco is that he has received a message from our old Columbian friend a.k.a. 'The Sneaky F*****'. Apparently the man is heading for New Zealand with his very pregnant girlfriend. Speculation continues as to whether this is just an elaborate import operation.
