Last nights ride was in a word ACE.
It was a) my best night ride and b) the ride to show the amount of progress I have made in the last couple of weeks.
I loved every minute of it… even the climbs. I was oozing confidence and felt completely in the groove. My bike was rad and felt so good (needs a couple of tweaks mind) and the weather was perfect. It was so mild.
The sections that stand out for me are Fast Bit where I was so fast I don’t really remember much of it and then actually doing steps in Nut Clough woods which I have never been able to do before. When I think back to the steps, it’s all a bit of a blur but I did them because I COMMITED! I was on such a high and feel ready to try more steps and build up speed on some of the trails I know well.
I am still buzzing now.
I love my bike, I love the hills, I love the eerie blackness of the valley at night, and I love the beer at the end.
Without Ed and Benji, I would NOT be where I am now. Oh and I also owe some credit to my new helmet which does actually have magic powers considering all my progress has been made since owning and wearing the piss pot!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP to bikes.
