Up above Nan Bield yesterday

No need to open the annoying gate – simply step over

Oh and I got sun burn from the sun/snow/wind up top 🙂

Didn’t get a whole load of riding done this weekend as I’ve been working, but Friday was a few hours at Woburn with some mates, think another one of them is gonna get into riding which is awesome 🙂 Then yesterday I did a quick 10 mile road ride to clear my hung over head!

Managed 30 road miles on Friday and 50 on Saturday, then rest/family day/eat chocolate with kids on Sunday. Monday night ride on the Inbred ss 29er, but didn’t need lights until last 20 mins and trails were dry and empty, and having only been riding my ss since just before Christmas, mainly at night, i was able to thrash it a bit more and even running it rigid it loved the rooty stuff and just gobbled up some technical stuff! Superb riding but now thinking i need to chop in the Soul for a Solaris.

Took my new bike (Grand Canyon AL 7.9) for its first outings over the long weekend:

Thursday night ride 20 miles over the Purbecks – lovely up and downs
Saturday morning ride 23 miles local trails/singletrack with mates
Sunday morning ride 16 miles solo blast around local trails/woods

Happy legs. And two new PBs in the first three rides on the new bike 😀

but Friday was a few hours at Woburn with some mates,

Did you investigate the newly logged sections on the northwestside of the scarp? All change there!!

I built a mini pump track in the garden:
