From home then some hill climbing on black mtn which felt really hard. I couldn't even stay on the bike due to lack of technique. Fred led the way dressed very convincingly as a Mamil. I've never ridden with a mamil before!

Went quite hard up steep FT to top, running the last bit. Could feel the session in my body for hours afterwards. Really wanted to nap! Took a rest at the top where Fred took photos in posted something about TYFFs to a friend. But I wasn't faster for lots of it so he lied. Saw Lou Sh a few times and Davo on bike at top. Nice to accidentally see friends.

Walked down to bikes

then cycled home. I was hopeless descending the steep and very rocky trail, Fred was soon way out of sight as I adjusted my seat height. Very very glad I adjusted brakes before heading out. After changing my herniated tyre I thought I might as well give brakes attention. Nice to ride a functional bike. Dropped by a BNothing house on way home to pick up a xmas tree alternative of bright coloured paper balls.
