Somehow every ride on the CX I've done so far I've ended up getting bloody soaked… 🙁 I suppose that's preparation for the race which will be done in torrential rain. Not that I'm pessimistic or anything.
Was out in the Peaks today, came very close to losing it big time down Middle Moor (Shooting Cabins descent), it's got all washed out and loose half way down which I wasn't expecting. Front wheel slid out, back wheel hooked up on a rock and bounced sideways, I landed (still half on the bike) in the heather.
Got a week off work soon, will have a couple of days of running and riding bits of the route. What a way to spend my holiday time!
