MTB ride, Wombat MTB loop.

Entered the BMC 100kms on 20th April, so I figured it’ll be a good idea to get some kms doing some of the trails to be used for the event. I printed up a copy of the route sheet – showing all 100kms of the BMC trails. Rolled up with Paulie & Stu near the Wombat MTB loop on the Monday Labour day holiday. I once did a Fat Tyre Flyers XC event there a year ago & this MTB loop off Fingerpost Rd is used for a number of MTB events throughout the year. Not my fav course but it has all you need to encounter to prep for any XC event. A hot day we started out @ 9:30am to in a lap or 2 of the 20kms course before heading home. It’s got a real nice flow to it, but I always seem to have problems with the log roll overs, illustrated by Paulie doing an over-the-‘bars on a pretty innocent looking example. Stu was firing as he usually does & we left him to punch out an extra 2x laps or so while Paul & I circulated at our, more tentative pace.
We ended up with 2x laps which was about 40kms of singletrack.
