Thursday evening and I found myself motoring up towards the forest with the electric blue Kona a passenger in my Imperial Blue chariot. Passing by the Railway Inn en route I spotted Hamez carrying out roadside first aid on his bike. Pulled over and got out to help, but his stead was a sick puppy and Hamez had to abort mission, heading back prematurely. I, on the other hand, headed on up to the Smithy and met Phil - mwahaha.
Weather was gourmet... The Pickford and the Woolrich enjoyed a pleasant climb up to the top of Charity Lane, with only brief stoppage and no pushing whatsoever. The lane was a good blast too, although due to the recent rain it did throw up a load of mud. On to the decorative stone lane (not sure what it's really called but hey!) and the spot of rain it seemed had actually helped to firm it up. I felt more confident on it this time round and not only stayed off the brakes, but cranked it too and gave it some lean into the corner. Continuing on to standing stone carpark, myself and Phil both reinstated on the next section. Did it notably faster than on previous rides - momentum is key on this one I think!
So there we have it, the usual Macc Forest ride. Same old route, but I never get bored of it!
