I joined a mtb website last spring and the meets from there resulted in people pulling jumps in local woods

In other news, I got blown off on the south loop at whinlatter yesterday.

Not the good kind of blown off either. Fucking hurt like fuck. Was a bit harsh on the open mountain side. Got a bit of "air" gust of wind hit and off I popped about ten foot off the edge of the trail.

Yeah I'm good. Bit bruised and got sore wrist and shoulder. Had to break out the multitool to straighten the handlebars and I think the saddle is fooked.

What a fucking rush lol!

Been out, did 13 miles with my dad just locally. Max speed of 25.5 mph and 380 calories burned. Wasnt out long it was just a tester.

Not keen at all on the location of brakes.. Seem like i need 2 sets. Started to get slightly confident with cornering on skinny wheels towards the end.

Enjoyed it though.

bits weren't rideable, first climb is mostly on the road so that knocks the edge off a lot. You'd manage it Jim, will get among it one day now I know the way round won't have to stop and check a map
