It's been way too long since we've been to The Sunshine Coast. Obviously snow has been the main problem - as with most places round these parts but reports said it was good to go so off we went to the ferry (not so) bright and early Easter Saturday
The snow stopped us driving right to the top but only by a couple hundred metres - the trail itself was mint :)
Here's me enjoying the legendary SSC flow
....and then we took a connector trail to the DH track. There was a ton of deadfall which I insisted we clear.
Fortunately Guy had a pocket chainsaw with him which made quick work of the trees we couldnt drag out of the way
We had a great day (of course) but the cherry on the cake was possibly my favourite trail anywhere - Gnome. No stunts, no technical bits and no tight corners - just flat out fast trails weaving gently through the trees with enless opportunities to take to the air. Gnome is the perfect metaphor for The Sunshine Coast, If you have the means, I highly recommend it ;)Me seconds away from dropping into Gnome :D
The Rat Race is here in a few short weeks so we'll be back for some race training and then of course the for race itself. I managed 3rd last year so hoping to do well again this year. I can't wait. A shame D won't be there though :( she'll be in Andorra (of all places) racing the 2nd round of the World Cup - lucky (although luck has nothing to do with it!) girl :)
