It's no secret the Manly Dam circuit has been getting easier over the last year or so, but this is just silly...

I went over there this morning with a plan to do a few laps at a fast but sustainable pace. After last week's road escapade and the Fat Tyre coming up wanted to make sure I hadn't forgotten how to ride MTB circuits Eye-wink

The course was predictably devoid of riders as everyone should be down at the Fling. First couple of laps went by feeling good - it was nice to bump into Andrew (dude on a bling Cove Handjob) for part of that too which kept the pace up a bit. Shortly into the third it began to rain so decided to make this the last. Was still sort of cruising until top of heartbreak hill, but from then decided to push on a bit to see how this would go. Was the third lap after all, so how fast could it end up?

As it turns out, this fast. A new PB, and on the Yeti too. Oh dear, and this is meant to be a play bike. Shhhhh... don't tell the Rush! Eye-wink

So laps today, 35:58, 36:44, 33:57... non-stop all the way (yup - zero dabs)... very satisfying! Laughing out loud

Good time. Have you considered trading the Rush for a ASR Carbon and really setting a fast time.
