Good ride at the Dam

Couldn't make the Anderson's and Oaks ride so did the Dam instead in the afternoon. Awesome fun. Finally conquered all the steps after the golf course including the one after the boardwalk going uphill towards Wakehurst Parkway.

Absolutely loving the new bike. It just soaks up everything...but then again anything would be better than the 100mm of travel I had with those Rock Shock Darts!

Did 3 laps and felt good.

Also I followed Greg's advice to practice drop offs on kerbs and put it into practice today. Worked a treat and makes it much faster than slowing down and rolling off stuff like the below:

And to top it all off I cut 5 min off my previous best time. Happy little MTBer today.
