Improvement

I'm reasonably happy with the improvement in the time. It's only 3 minutes, but the descent down Duck Holes was slower than usual: I rode the hardtail today. Michelin XCR Dry 2's aren't the most confidence inspiring rubber in the loose stuff. And I walked a few sections I usually ride as the rear would spin.

A little faster and feeling like you're doing it easier is a move in the right direction.
