I was very very fortunate to be able to go into work a little later this morning, and ride Ikigai for the first time. It was raining lightly, but enough to put anyone else off, so I thankfully had the trail to myself.
It was freaky as hell in places, and extremely enjoyable in others. I took it very very slowly, and even then had a close call due to a moment’s inattention that had me stopping with the front tyre off the edge of the track.
It was followed by a wet but awesome ride back up the hill.
Very pleased!
