I loved how the trees made a tunnel on this tunnelless trail. It was warm and still and scented inside. A welcome respite from the wind.
The section of trail from Athol to Five Rivers is bedevilled by gates. Sometimes there are gates and cattlestops. It made what could have been very pleasant slightly less so.
Lunch at the Five Rivers Cafe cheered me up and the downhill to the Lumsden bridge was good. There were other riders in the trail -all going the other way.
After the bridge came the long straights to Mossburn. And the headwind. There was little shelter from the wind and it just kept getting stronger. I was glad to get into shelter at Bracken Hall. Marilyn came and joined me for a cuppa. It was good to catch up. Ron went and booked us a cabin . It is cold tonight.
