It was great to be back, I was surprised to see it had been a month since I’d been there.
My intention was to go to the top, but I arrived much later than I had planned. The carpark was pretty full, but in the way up I encountered no one. I did a loop of Magic Carpet which I found fairly dull this time, although it took me over 9 minutes versus the usual 6 minutes.
I went down Lazy Fern, which was nice enough, although having not ridden downhill much for a few weeks my legs were feeling it.
I came back up, and in the way to Big Tom’s Wheelie, I stopped to check the map. I figured I’d ridden far enough that I should have just gone to the top. I am intending to get there earlier next time to allow time to get to the top.
I went down SWIGG and it was great, I realised how much I’d learnt since my last attempt. Last time it was thrilling, but I was barely in control, and I was forced to stop many times. This time, I stopped only once, and while I was slow, I felt far more in control.
