Hard ride! Cold, Headwind, Rain, Mud! Car in ditch. Felt hardcore tonight - Big week for mileage too. Poor legs :-/
Ride Log
Fantastic trail' gnarly in places using natural exposed rocks and drop offs to keep your concentration levels high,well draining in most parts. Not fast flowing trails but plenty of rocks and roots.
Ride Log
