Agai-ain?

Yeah, I Oaksed it. Slightly faster down, slightly slower up. I definitely felt it more than last time, probably because I pushed in the singletrack, hitting my max HR there. So downhill/flattish was where I worked hardest. 🤷 Too much fun is barely enough. 😎

Day total 53.7km, 2hrs24
Max HR 159
Max jump haha, no, I didn't jump 18m, hanging for 1.86s, Mr Garmin. WTF?
Ascent 1168m
People 30 riders, 10 walkers Sunday...

Blessed *"silence"* continues 😁

Over 50 plants in here now. I’ll probably stop fairly soon. Maybe.

Several of you have recommended the old "give your friendly local moss a drink of water before the photo shoot" technique. Thank you, I like the results. But I think I won't always be patient enough to stand around for 15 minutes :) #mosstodon #BlueMountains

Both local(ish) bike shops were closed, so I went for a creak. Sekrit singletrack, & a side hunt for old faves Twister, Junkyard, & Postie Pass. Alas, only portions remain of once very popular riding, with a number of built features & a car rollover lost to time.

The currently maintained tracks are fun, if a little tight on longer bikes (mine). I grabbed a small tree for balance one hairpin, & we both fell over! 😂 There's blood in the pic! Tis but a scratch, etc

Well... OK... It was *alright.*😁

I rode the Oaks. I'm not sure if I've mentioned riding this track before.🙄 I had fun, but my bike turned into Sir Creaksalot on the way home. To be diagnosed. Temp was fine. 🙄

Progress! Quicker again, & I wasn't a wreck when I got home. My legs still work. Sure, Es helped, but the hills are getting easier.

Usual Oaks stats... Weight a little less. 200km for April—125 this week! 😱 Can I keep this up? 🤔 Ahahaha. No. 🤷
