I finally rode Serendipity. While it was hairy, it was no where near as tough as I was expecting, even though there are a couple of segments that I cannot even attempt at the moment.
The conditions were wet, slippery, and in places the mud was very thick. In the dry it would be considerably easier to ride.
I need to trust myself to roll a couple of the features and trust the bike to manage – which of course it will, as long as I don’t misuse the brakes.
Saturday’s ride was pretty big by my standards – two trips up and down Ikigai and Serendipity.
