One of my very first rides took me to the Skyline track in the hills above Wellington, where I found myself immediately out of my depth.
I returned there on Saturday, and got the familiar feeling of being outmatched by its steep and in places slippery inclines and narrow trails. However, I spent about an hour on the bike and overall it was enjoyable, even if that was down to the wonderful weather.
I needed to time box the ride, and will return soon to see how much further I can get, as I’m sure I can:
- Go further than 7.5km
- Cope better with the cattle stops
