A break, between riding means the first ride after the drought is just fahn painful and slow. I know that feelingWent for a 'proper' ride for the first time in a month. Realized I need to be riding a lot more than once a month.
Just gotta persevere. It'll come together eventually, amazing how hard it is after years clipped in though!got out to the youies for a couple quik cressy runs on th4 flats, super scary - - the flats are holding ok, but i am still sacred to be on them which is affecting my riding
i did have 1 foot bounce off on the longer rock garden, they are giving me the most trouble
then got out with the geelong boys for a 40km 1000vet gravel ride in the brisbane ranges near steiglitz

You riding a hardtail or dually? I still get a bit slippy and skippy on rough stuff on a hardtail,
I’m confused. I though the George Michael carpark was the 24 hour one over at the Horswood Rd roundabout?That's really shit @Lazmo .
Is it the last 50 meters between the comm games track on the road? We ride that bit, always have but sounds like it is time to give it up.
Hope recovery comes quickly and fully.
Haha, na it is the one at the top of Hug trail. One of my mates called it the George Michael because of the loo and the special friends that it attracted.I’m confused. I though the George Michael carpark was the 24 hour one over at the Horswood Rd roundabout?
slowmick... at the top of Hug, if you head down the fire road from the George Michael loo/water tap and hang left onto the single track that goes to the right hand turn on the Comm games... that bit, is now one way, according to the map and the guy I hit. No one bothered to tell eleventy million riders going the other way...That's really shit @Lazmo .

It's funny how one way trails somehow means you don't have to look anymoreslowmick... at the top of Hug, if you head down the fire road from the George Michael loo/water tap and hang left onto the single track that goes to the right hand turn on the Comm games... that bit, is now one way, according to the map and the guy I hit.

Photos from both perspectives... neither says one way.

Isn't that last single track bit the end of Comm Games, as it is what allows you to do another lap? How can it be one way the other way, especially as it doesn't led to anything?slowmick... at the top of Hug, if you head down the fire road from the George Michael loo/water tap and hang left onto the single track that goes to the right hand turn on the Comm games... that bit, is now one way, according to the map and the guy I hit.

Or - and stop me if this sounds crazy - you could build her what she wants, instead of building what you want her to have, then coming back here and complaining that she hates it and won't ride it?
Sometimes you have to save people from themselvesThis is a very strange concept you propose
Seriously, comfort needs to come first to develop confidence. Ever ridden a step through? They are a piece of shit
