jason, nick and i did a nice ride today. oaks fire trail then on to the blaxland bake house of coffee [OJ for me - god i hate coffee]. nick then left and caught the train whilst jason and i continued along, through sun valley, along to yellow rock and back home. i think nick thoroughly enjoyed the ride. jason also had his first run on the cross+marks - we are both sold on them. they were the shit through all terrain!
in total it was a 61km ride of all types of terrain. sadly we spoke briefly to a guy on the fire trail who was laying down waiting for an ambulance to come - he had just come off and broken his collar bone. he explained the chain had locked up. then the back wheel locked up and he lost control. it was on the hardest downhill part of the fire trail as well as the fastest rough part. get well.
after 50+ km and a painful last full climb, i came over a hill exhausted only to see this... totally pissed myself laughing
here's the route for today
[add the first 10km to the station from home]
as a last note: after riding along the sun valley section both jason and i were thinking/saying exactly the same thing. fuck we live in the best part of the world.
