Today's Ride

Shakedown ride which ended up being 24 miles. Massive showers today but managed to dodge them,hid under the Yew tree for one of the lighter ones. Just need to lose about 11/2" off the front brake cable ,also felt strange with two full bidons on the bars, i am riding no hands for the picture but it looks like i'm stationary ?

I like when I find abandoned roads that do this thing where they turn from a rusty gate and some asphalt into effectively bombproof singletrack with an asphalt center

The start:

The middle:

And there’s still asphalt under that, with a bow in it still, so there’s no puddles, no muddy spots, just a clean line to go fast on
