Tonight's ride was an interesting mix of terrain, and almost for the first time this year, the bike returned a relatively clean state.
Myself and the lad that I ride with once a week decided that we would venture back to the woodland where last weeks group ride took place, and try to learn the terrain a bit better.
It certainly seemed to flow better last week, when we were following the riders that had very good knowledge of the routes.
I bottled it at the edge of one very steep drop, as did the lad that I was with. I rode it last week, but I right behind another rider, and just thought what the heck. I'm not into letting things beat me, especially if I have already done them once, so just went back and did it again.
At only 13.5 miles long with 1,103 ft of elevation gain, it wasn't the most exciting of rides, but at least it was superb evening to be out on the bike.
Just the two photos from this evening.
And the view that my cycling mate is stood looking at, along with a little dot of a hot air balloon.
Hopefully the hardtail will be back together again either tomorrow evening or Friday evening, in readiness for a Sunday trip to either the South Downs or possibly the Surrey Hills.
The Rockshox Reverb Stealth seat post failed after just approx 50 miles of use. On the plus side, it was a 2015 version that I bought cheaply in a sale, and SRAM have already had it back and given me the new 2016 version as a replacement. Can't say fairer than that.
Both bikes.
