Re:
First proper ride after work today!
Up to the South Downs, if you get my drift :?
Saw a big fish with half it's head missing, on the bridleway! :shock: Kicking myself that I didn't take a photo! :facepalm:
A bit further up,

Harvest was just in time here, as the rain came down later!
Onto the SDW, past the Yoof 'ostel, bruv :facepalm: , then a right turn, onto some of my favourite trails. Downhill, naturally!

Nice long drop, with a bit of technical rooty stuff. Up and over a small lump, and down into Steyning, for a short bit of road respite, before tackling this.

To infinity, and beyond! :shock: Yes, I did make it!
Loving this set up. Wide bars and 26" wheels making it nice and flicky, but with 2.1 tyres on , for good grip!
At the top, a quick pause to take in the view

Started feeling spots of rain at this pint, so made a careful descent down south again, nearing home.

Looks harmless enough, but wet compacted chalk is glacial :shock:
Was riding in the gravel where I could, at least you have some control that way!
Last bit of bridleway before heading home,

Getting wet at this stage, so well timed! Then back home for a cuppa! Nice
Really pleased with the bike, and with the high wide bars, feels like my 29er, in a strange way. But easier to sprint on this one! Cool

P.S. Yes, I still need cable ends! :roll:
