A super ride out to red rocks. The track is very lumpy and you need to stay focused. Obstacles that I’d been lucky to navigate the first time I was able to cope with far better. The difference was that I slowed down and looked at options for negotiating the obstacle. The thick dry sand stopped me a couple of times in the way out, but on the way back I was able to get through. The large loose stones however did force me to walk for short periods.
My hand has healed at last, I think it got infected while I was in Fiji and while it wasn’t sore it was itchy and gross.
