It was worth the trip, though it is a very taxing trail with longish sections that are slight climbs, but quite rough.<BR/>The first part of the 'new' loop was a dissappointment - going downhill on fireroad is just wrong - but what followed was one of the longest, sweetest sections of singletrack I can remember. Much of the extension is more challenging, with uphillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02652385889888711628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19207934.post-12591201632100343912009-04-02T16:00:00.000+00:002009-04-02T16:00:00.000+00:00This is the 1st serious ride I've cranked wearing ...This is the 1st <I>serious</I> ride I've cranked wearing knee pads - I'm pleased to say that they felt well comfy (661 Earth Knees btw).

Glad that Uphilla was OK and at least this time it wasn't me that caused the tumble!Rob#2https://www.blogger.com/profile/00630382972097706244noreply@blogger.com
