Well, y'know, it's good that they put that red pad around that one tree, 'cause it was way more dangerous than any of the others.

Mad skills.  [evil]

A modern, long-travel downhill bike is a pretty sophisticated piece of kit; it's pretty astounding what they're capable of doing. I'm not saying I'd be as fast as the pros, but put me on one of them and I could, um, you know... probably watch quietly from beside the course without soiling myself. Much.

Seriously astounding what those riders can do.  [bow_down]

Avg speed on runs has risen about 1 km/h when doing mixed "power"/cadence training . . . when doing only "power" I do not pass 20 km/h . . .  weird uh?

For those without Strava, this is today's morning ride, sadly, I closed the app before ride ended by mistake; finish was same as start, distance is actually closer to 55kms or about 30mls

Me on yesterday's ride,



I know, I am not dress coordinated . . . jersey was a gift many moons ago and chamois is "a little pass due" . . .  ;D

edit:
Handlebar and extension were installed on Friday, handlebar is an Easton Havoc DH with 15mm offset; will replace stem for a 100mm one, installed is 80mm . . . I am pushing back on seat

Yeah, my thoughts exactly....those must be the REALLY dangerous trees.  [laugh]
