| Up at the crack of dawn to do the 2 hr drive to Ballinastoe in Wicklow with Brian.
He kindly let me have his good full suspension bike whilst he used his cheaper hardtail. We went a fair bit slower on the climbs than i would have otherwise, rarely breaking 120bpm. The circa 18km waymarked route criss crossed itself as it gradually got more challenging on the 'fun' bits. My confidence was increasing all the time, but i was eventually caught out by instinct about 20 mins from the end, attempting to brake i ended up into a stump and over the handlebars (used the front brake, whose lever was on the same side as the BACK brake on my own bike). Luckily i managed a decent landing and only picked up a muddy arm. Not so confident for the run back towards base. Thoroughly enjoyable morning. | ||

Feeling the middle of my calf tugging on the downhill so did a few stops to stretch out. A few test strides on the track and my calf seemed ok 6x300m in ave 55 secs each with alternating 1min / 2 min recoverys (running flat footed to protect calf a little) C 15 mins uphill WD back to my sisters place.
