Bad luck that is?
Cliff (of Mr Motivator fame - those who read Josh Bryceland's column in Dirt will know who I mean) joined Jon and I for the usual Macc Forest winter training loop. I arrived to find Jon had forgotten to re-install the small retaining nut on his Saint cranks and they'd slipped on the climb up...
Bummer end of ride for him.
Cliff and I pushed on and enjoyed a good chat up the climb. At the usual breather spot at the barn the forestry chaps had left a pile of surfacing rubble that Cliff decided to have a pop at - bad luck number 2 - after a few unsuccessful attempts he pulled it twice, second on camera. The next attempt went bad when he got cocky and ended up getting clouted in the face by his bike giving him a nice nose bleed... after stemming the flow we just shot back down the fire road (making the most of the opportunity and scoping out the possibility of a fun descent on the tracks either side of the motorway!).
Photos below in the new format. Hope to see Cliff out on the bike again soon.
