Get on it...a hardtail

Wow. First genuine ride on the Cove for real, and it was awesome. The whole day ruled, weather, chat, riding. I was a little tired having had a bit of late night poker fest. However, having been woken by James arriving at my door, we got our shit together and headed to the sunny coast.

Trails, drops, jumps, big air, steps, I was loving the aggression of the small geometry hardtail. Only fall back was an overzealous first go off the drop at the Dales. Re-instatement all round other than that. Other lesson learned was my single chainring doesn't suit long XC cycles or any climbing. But I'm used to that with the Stinky!

Longer-harder-faster, the Sanchez delivered and the skills and confidence were there to try anything :)

Top day. And hardtails rock. Hardcore set up of course!
