Had a smashin ride today. Headed out on the crosser as I'm doing a bit of training for the 3 peaks CX. Went for a 55mile mixed terrain ride, mostly road but some landrover paths some singletrack some wooded trails some country walk type stuff bit of cycle path even some field ploughing. Topped off with some fantastic coastal scenery and even an ice cream stop
I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed just getting out and finding some new stuff was and not riding to the clock or speedo, taking some breaks and looking about. When I first got the crosser I was doing this and stopped for some reason. And for all the wheeling and dealing with mountain bikes its my ever faithful commuter thats getting me the miles and smiles. I think this will be the basis for my ultimate bike.
