Sunday mornings weather was supposed to be a bit nasty ...... and it was! but that wasn't going to spoil 2-1/2 hours on the trails.
The hardtail was the order of the day with its new Timberwolf Race 2.3 on the front. I would have taken the full suss but time management was a little poor and the new cranks were still on the dining room table (plus I quite like the on-one ..... which is a good enough excuse).
Autumn has dropped a forest load of leaves on the trails which make them look nice but hide a load of problems (or wet roots as they're known locally)
A good time was had, the uphills were a bit slippy and needed more oomph than in the summer but the descents, especially the quarry, had that special "shall I touch the front brake just to see what'll happen" moments. The grip was negligible but the fun factor was huge ...........
