My first Donna Buang ride was a couple of weeks ago – I think I peaked too early. It was a beautiful day without a cloud in the sky, avg of about 24 degrees, and barely needed a second layer for the descent… this weekend was a bit different. It was 7.2 degrees most of the way up. The descent was hellish – numb fingers after about 30 seconds, and an ice-cream headache – without the ice cream… great ride again though, with a good bunch of blokes. And the sausage told with sauce at the bottom were well deserved…

And if you get kicked out of that one you’re going straight in the army where you’ll be sent to America’s latest military quagmire….where will it be? North Korea? Iran? Anything’s possible with commander kookoo bananas in charge
