AFTER THE THRILL COMES TIME TO CHILL.

Traversing along the alpine section with impressive icicles To overcome any self-doubt, I simply put my mind over matter practice into gear which is something that I am very familiar with. Just like any challenge, we broke it down and just put one foot in front of the other and carried on pushing through with a good attitude. We were well-equipped with our gear, and we are both strong athletes. The open alpine section was exhilarating and exceptionally beautiful. There were deep banks of snow and massive icicles most of the way. The temperature was chilly but we stayed warm by laughing and getting stuck into the physical work of pushing and lifting our bikes through the snow. We had a fair bit of weight to push, especially Craig, due to our gourmet food and a few cans of IPA beer we had on board. It was actually really fun! We arrived at Ghost Lake Hut by late afternoon, much later than planned, and clearly needed to bunk in for the night. There was no way we could have made it to Goat Creek hut because the low elevation of the snow meant we still had several kms to push through. The hut was pretty full with trampers so we camped out in one of the unheated sleepouts which was fine once we got into our sleeping bags. The next day we set out for more pushing through the snow past the Skyline ridge, down the steps and another couple kms down the descent towards the Stern Creek Hut. Altogether, we covered about 17km of snowy hike-a-biking. Once we hit dry ground, we had a little celebration, pumped up our tyres and rode away like the wind. The snowscape made this trip a memorable one, and certainly turned the familiar ride into a very different and unique Old Ghost Road experience. Happy trails!
