Once again the a couple of loops of Koru, Magic Carpet, Big Tom’s Wheelie, and Lazy Fern. I hadn’t really eaten enough, so the first loop up was good, but I felt I was struggling a little on the second loop up.
I still managed a faster time on the second way up, even though I cruised behind some slower folks for a while, around 13 minutes to the top of Koru.
There were some interesting personalities on the trial, some friendly, and some very gruff and terse – what is it with some 50-60 year old men on flash bikes that makes them so miserable and unfriendly?
It was a fun ride overall, I noticed my cornering on the way down was much improved, although I am still extremely tense on some of the corners.
