BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzz
What a fantastic ride last night! It's been just over 2 months since I stacked it hard over the bars on a sketchy downhill, flew 4-5 meters away from my bike and fractured my shoulder. In the past week I had done two 6mile local loop rides that were both pretty much flat, all fire-roads and pavements.
Last night 4 of us went out on the bikes with me leading, initially I just wanted to do a slightly longer local loop keeping on 'safe' terrain.
The weather was BEAUTIFUL, a sunny evening of 21degrees, riding in shorts and t-shirt and the bike feeling smoooooth after a gold service.
Feeling good, setting the pace and leading the group we got to a certain turning and without saying a word my bike decided it wanted to go play, left we turned and off into the fun stuff....
15 miles of hills and singletrack, a beautiful sky as the sun set, a little rain storm that cleared the air of any humidity and that gave us a double, yes double rainbow that meant we could see all 4 ends touch the ground from the top of one of the hills
It feels so good to be back on the bike, I even found myself saying things like "It's so good to be back on top of you" "I've missed you" and "Oh god I love you" to the bike when I pulled enough of a lead to know that nobody could hear me
(which was pretty much all the time... it appears my riding buddies have been taking it easy whilst I've been off the bike!).
BUZZZZ
It's good to be back... hopefully it'll continue to get better as I received confirmation of my annual leave request for a Jedi day in August!
