14th February 2010, Jeffrys track

I’m in heaven. Even with a swollen ankle.

I’d heard about Jeffrys track, that it went all the way to New Norfolk. It is actually about 6km short of New Norfolk. The people I questioned about it all had horror stories, so I was apprehensive. Especially riding alone.

It is a great ride. A nice challenge, interesting varying terrain, and 70km! Although about 15km of that is on road.

From where I live, I only have to go a few kms till I’m on tracks. Then to Bermuda track, Whites track, Jeffrys track.

My ankle? That was closer to home. One of those hills that you can’t see over the hump in the middle of it, like a steep ski slope. Too much front brake and I was sliding head first down the hill with my bike on top of my foot, with the thought in my head “my ankle is broken”. It isn’t

I hope you all have someone to celebrate St Valentine’s day with.
