Took it for a pre-work ride up One Tree Hill this morning. First time this year. Concentrated not on speed but on not freezing and keeping my breathing & heart rate at a non fatal rate.
I'd forgotten just how much a ride can improve the start to the day. Starting the day with a big smile on your face delays becoming a grumpy old man at work till much later in the day.
I think a pre-work ride could considered a community service. :thumb:

Just my local hill Phil - it is only a couple of hundred meters climb in total. The only brutal thing on it is the runners and walkers jostling for space on the thousand steps and in the car park on the far side.

A week ago I stripped and completely rebuilt the Mondraker . Flow Bikes sorted me some pivot bits and bearings so while waiting for those the fork and shock got some love and bled the guides even though they were sweet . Bike all together and took it out to RNP Wednesday night and it was like riding a new bike . Everything was super smooth and noiseless . Too many wet rides had obviously taken its toll .

You need some purple kit man.

Borrowed a mate's bike and spent a few agreeably clueless hours riding around the Yarra Trails for the first time (turns out there are a couple).
Felt f***ing great to be out riding again. Been a while.
Also wasted valuable riding time posing the bike for photos.

...spent almost every day in the last week on trails. It has been rather fun!
Yesterday afternoon a dad brought his kid to ride the generic dirt jumps (one of many parents doing so over the last week). The kid was in the 4-6 window, on a fairly small pedal bmx. He was a bit nervous on his first run through, hits the first jump and yells out "yeeehaaaaaaa!". It was pretty funny. Anyway being the encouraging kinds of people we are each of us let's out a bit of a yeeehaaaaaaa on our next run through the jumps. The youngster gets a little excited and has a few more laps and joins in a bit of ye olde between run smack talk.
Then one of the guys suggests a "yeeehaaaaaaa" train...the little guy is pretty pumped! I recommend be takes the lead but he wants to come through last. Nobody crashed. There was a lot of yeeehaaaaaaa. It was fun.

Haha I'm getting used to this "sit to climb, stand to descend" thing.

You should consider cryofreezing some of your spermatozoa just in case you damage the system. It is pretty common practise in the long distance mtb community, there is even a thread on here somewhere about it.
