Teh Skillz Innit


Mountain bike ride with Trio this morning, she wanted to scoot round the new stuff in the woods at Healey Nab as she's practicing techy riding. I mostly slithered about in the mud, pushed, swore, got scared of rocks and moaned. Best bits, there is a really nice wiggily climb and the sandwich in Chapel Tearooms was epic!

A 2(ish) hour ride and I needed a 2 hour nap. I am so not a proper mountain biker anymore.

Did the picture of me on that scary drop-in come out?

Thanks for a great ride and cafe stop!

you know when you're not a proper biker any more when you start thinking 'i could run quicker on this' ;)

I think I need to get my MTB muddy again. It's getting used for far to many tarmac miles.

Simon - it was!

Trio - it's on Flickr

Kate - I do sometimes find myself on rides thinking this a good run ruined by bringing a bike along! Must redress the balance one the marathon is completed.

Red - tarmac miles on a MTB is always yuck, that's why God invented roadbikes.

So true about road bikes - now ride yours Jumbly!

But a little confused, I am sure it was vertical and a load of scary rocks, this looks easier than I remembered!
