August the 26th we headed out to do the renoun Mountain river decent.

We started out from Grove shop about 12klms out of Huonville, headed out to climb Jefferys track, a four wheel drive track which climbs for about 5 klms.

From the top of Jefferys track we went across the east west trail which is again climbing past Mt charles towards Colins Bonnet and Sleeping Beauty which is where the Mt River decent starts.

The decent starts off a little like big bend with babys head size boulders which are all loose, makes the bike move around a bit under you.

Once past the boulders you are rewarded with a fast flowing single track which seems to go on forever leaving you with a massive grin from ear to ear when you pop out at Mt River.

Distance = 35klms

Time      =  4.5 hours

Grade    =  medium to difficult

Sleeping Beauty

Rugging up for the decent.

Exhausted!!!
