Boom boom

Went for my usual ride up Macc forest this afternoon. Gorgeous blue skies, almost perfect but there was a fair wind up top. Anyway, Charity lane was awesome as usual, scared the shit out of some ramblers as I flew by them as they chatted about paint and walls and drying (assumption), but as I landed 10 foot away all I could hear was gasps and no doubt "tutts" followed as well as the crackle of the rocks all around me getting belted out the way. I say this every time, but I did actually go even faster today, particularly the middle section. I was actually out of breath at the bottom from hammering it so hard!

Onto the bombhole and then the climb up Wildboarclough. Descent from there was all about the line of attack. Definitely got that dialled now. The 2nd half was immense, more ramblers were shocked as I accelerated over the gnarly rocks, but I was loving it as usual. The "what the fuck trail" is gettting damn fast too these days. Shame I've not gone for DH racing yet, I'm feeling on fine form!

A few purchases and tinkering to be done midweek before next weekend. Front brakes need bled but the nipple isn't for opening up. I'll need to tickle it or something! New rear cassette and chain as my rear is losing teeth in 5/6th gear despite retuning the gears. Also a new BB as there is some play in mine now. Still, it's lasted 18 months of heavy duty pounding! The wheels are here, but no sneak previews until midweek!

Shot from today, total bliss...
