Nice ride into Friston Forest that turned into an absolute beasting on every climb by Mrs M on the Levo of Doom.

Falling behind here

Went to Fetham, went for a ride, with the 1st 2 km I got a puncture….. didn’t have the equipment to sort so mate had to ride to Denbie’s to get some spare tubes,
Turned out to be a great ride, loads of cool single track around there and box hill. Still smashed out 42km,

The post you have all been waiting for

We have another pump track 10 minutes from us.

Took the kids and his mate after school.

Great little track, got the hang of pumping quite quick, what got me was jumping…… bloody hell that was tough.
After an hour some 11 year old rocked up, cleared it on battered trek, then asked to have a go on my BMX and cleared it 2nd jump, my lad laughed.
Not the best at jumping but wow, it’s terrifying

Bloody rubbish!

Picked this drill screw up about 1.5 miles from home. Tyre instantly flat as it punctured the rim tape as well. Slow walk home, tyre now patched with leyzyne mushroom patch and rim tape removed. Wheel now drying in the conservatory after I washed tubeless gunk out of the spoke bed hollow. Rim tape tonight if I’ve got enough otherwise it’s a trip to the LBS tomorrow.
