bike-12.jpg (62190 bytes) After 'lunch' I followed the Genesis Route which has a pretty stiff climb for several K's. Pausing for a photo opportunity at a point called desolation or something like that. bike-13.jpg (46530 bytes) Just topping up with fuel at a convenient petrol station.

And then its 'down time' back towards the hidden valley and base camp.

bike-16.jpg (68660 bytes) This is just a tantalising look at the hidden valley which is a superb downhill bash. I was enjoying it far too much to take more photos. then, I re crossed the road and did all of 'The Wall' as the 'difficult' trail is known.

Six hours demanding cycling in warm June sunshine. I drove home with a smile on my face. Why hadn't mountain biking been invented when I was a kid?
