I’ve ridden 5 days in a row, which I’m pretty stoked about. I was on annual leave and in between the things I’d planned to do I also wanted to get a ride in, which once again was down the south coast.
The sand was everywhere and was very soft for much of the trail, but I rode far more this time than last month when I walked quite some distance. I was getting the hang of the soft stuff following advice from a gentleman who said to keep my weight back and on the seat, stay in a big gear, and hold the handlebars lightly. Heading back from Sinclair Head I was much more efficient on the sand.
I got to use the gloves I bought yesterday, the Raceface Ruxton. Fortunately I only needed them to protect me from the cold, but they’ll be more important for singletrack adventures.
