Still more flowers from today's eMTB ride through Blue Mountains National Park.

More photos from today's eMTB ride in Blue Mountains National Park.

I took lots of photos on my #eMTB ride today
I also have limits on many I can toot. 🤷

Glorious, simply glorious. Of course I rode!
Worryingly local boronias that used to flower in October were out in abundance & smelling beautiful. So much spring!
St Helena ridge firetrail & back. Mostly firetrail with some fun overgrown singletrack. My handguards earned their keep today! Sadly, they didn't prevent one tree trying to rip my helmet & sunnies off, stealing my inexpensive earphone. It's gone, I searched. 🤷

A surprise visitor today! I often hear frogs, but rarely see them. Good thing I had a torch or I might have stepped on it!
I believe this is a burrowing frog—an Eastern Banjo Frog (Limnodynastes dumerilii), also known as a pobblebonk.

I rode to Lake Woodford again.
Spring is sprung.
It was nice out in the bush, & spring is really putting the hammer down, with bursts of yellow, red, cream, purple, & blue popping out everywhere. Here are just a few.
I had fun. No crashes. Well OK, there *was* a little blood, but only a SPuD stack caused by poor line choice on a slow technical climb & failure to unclip in time. No real injury. 'Tis but a scratch, etc. SPuDs aren't crashes! 😂

A smidge of moss :) #mosstodon #BlueMountains

It seems the Oaks is my go to distance ride. Today I added Euroka + Bennett's Ridge, & also Nepean Lookout, a first in 20y(?)
Records broken! 🏆
66.76km (so close 👹) 3hrs5min
Ascent 1503m
9.44m jump 0.69s hangtime (nice)
Even my max HR theoretically puts me at age 58, which I'll very happily take!10% charge remaining, but to get there I rode a lot in Eco, which I don't normally do, & none of the dowhills use the motor (assist is only to 25 kmh).

Dry moss, dry fern, dry lichen :) #mosstodon #LichenSubscribe #BlueMountains

Laughing kookaburra!
Just dropped in for a quick snack—possibly a worm or lizard, gone before I could tell.

I have found them surprisingly good at laughing at me when I do something stupid.

Moss with common heath, on a cliff face :) #mosstodon #BlueMountains

Take 2...
Hurrah for bikes & glorious weather (ignores potential for severe bushfire season)!
The singletrack was flowing beautifully, & I rode like an absolute master*. A very enjoyable ride, & a great aerobic workout 😁
23 km 1hr25
Ascent 520m*didn't fall off

The sky was pretty this evening.
I've failed to do it justice, I saw a powerful dark cloud, with delicate, fluffy orange clouds hanging below. And that sky either side! The way the cloud arcs across the sky reminds me of the Milky Way in dark skies. I even went outside in the cold to enjoy it properly. 😁

Nurses sleeping in campgrounds, shops shutting and two-hour school buses: what the closure of Victoria Pass means for the Blue Mountains
By Ima CaldwellThe main road through the region will be closed for at least another year. Communities who rely on it say they’re already at breaking point

Unfinished business.
Today was my 2nd last chance to ride Anderson's firetrail from Woodford to Wentworth Falls, before it & others close for maintenance on Monday. Last time I crashed! Blood & swearing. Plans abandoned. Today, success!
It's XC with lots of waterbar jumps. Either direction scores a huge downhill, followed by a huge climb. Both ways doubles that. I almost rode up to Ingar again, but had some range anxiety & chickened out.

Moss with a little ivy :) #mosstodon #BlueMountains

Darling Causeway closed due to multiple vehicle crash. Only way to Lithgow is the long path via Bell's Line of Road. RSCU206 flew out from Bankstown to a footy oval near Mt Vic to collect patients, landed at Liverpool Hospital. #bluemountains
