On Saturday morning 5 of us set off from Hilton at 06h30 to ride some tracks in the Impendle area.

When Highsider asked me if it would be ok if he took his 990 I didn't really know what to tell him. When I first started doing rides in the area 6 years ago I would have been quite comfortable telling him to bring the 525 and leave the 990 at home. But I remembered last time I rode there, about 2 years ago, saying at the end of the ride that the rocks seem to have flattened out somewhat and there was a definite 'line" through that hadn't been there before, so I told him the 990 should be fine, and as it turned out it was.

I was a bit disappointed how easy it was, but then I was on my 520, which tends to make most tracks seem easy, the guys on the 990's might have a different opinion.

Started with the Nature Reserve section, this was very enjoyable, maybe slightly more gnarly than i remember it, but no-one had issues.
