Cruisy cycle with Jo around Forrest.

Ride with Paul and Jon up to top of red carpet (which was actually quite nice), then down , which was not. the rain didn't help

well it was a 3 hour private mtb lesson but easily half of it was watching or walking over obstacles before tackling them myself. Worked most of the time on nailing the obstacles on one of the black diamond runs at You Yangs - only one big stack - sore knee, sore arm. by the end of the lesson I was doing stuff i would never had imagined.

well i did ride to the library and back today but I won't count that. Instead I"ll count my night paddling session - more technique than anything else tonight which was good but really hard to execute in the windy wavy conditions.

Riding at Tolosa street. did 2 big loops of XC track then played on the smaller jumps down the bottom, then did another medium loop of XC track. lots of switchbacks and my downhill cornering improved just on that session. Also finally got around the one last corner which I've always failed previously. yay.

Well. that was a ride. From kingston to peter murrell reserve. As soon as I got there i realised I was meant to be at the 'other' wetlands down in kingston itself. dang - 15 out, 15 minutes back to where I was supposed to be.

Met up with Su, then started out on no-spew-hill loop, riding on trails near the southern outlet up to ridgeway, then up to fern tree, then out to neika on pipeline, then down wolfs road to leslie vale, then up something else, then down to home. it was Su's recovery ride. it was my 'now I'll have to recover' ride! especially with the extra 30 minutes at the start!

C • Mmm, I'm suspicious. Withou... 2

normal ride through peter murrell but from top corner went up tinderbox ridge - got to the top after just under an hour of riding. fun. was a bit hot in my merino 3/4 tights.
