Lazing on a Sunny afternoon!

What can I say September has won me over - another Sunny weekend.

Saturday I fixed my Marzocchi 55 ATA2 forks back on my bike after Windwave bled the TST cartridge for me. To test them out I rode 32km from Reigate through Colley Hill to Headley, top of Box Hill back down to the A25 then along from Brockham to Dungates lane and the bridleway back. They are sweet again now they are fixed I love them- I just hope they stay that way as its such a hassle to take them off and send them in to get sorted.


Got a HC then off to G&H for dinner and movie.


On Sunday it was gorgeous again so I rode Bracknell singletrack with J&M for 25k, couple of hours. Aliens and twsited sister then over to do the DH with the tabletos which I flew over asnd cleared 2 of them. Then I raced back to the picnic area to meet the kids for a picnic, played in the playground then off for a walk/run/walk in the forest. Finished with a piggy back race and an ice cream.

Weekend was only dampened by Mum having a fall and texting to say she'd sprained her ankle and passed out with the shock! Dad feeling a bit twingy too in his back. Nurofen on drip feed there right now.

Some 40 odd kms! I finished around 6:30 in the long evening shadows as the sun set beautiful!

Sept 13th

Before I headed out for a ride on the North Downs I had a ride with Cal and Ella and Ella was brave enough to ride down the big hill with me so we did that over and over and over.

Then Ella even rode my bike with the saddle down but I had to sprint next to her in case she stopped and fell off sideways. This pretty much exhausted me before my real ride!!

After a meeting in Birmimgham I headed up to CYB and had a wet then dry run around the MBR ride now clle the Dragons' back although I extended it with a fe other bits of singletrack.

I was going to stay ov er but I'd actual;ly forgotten to put my tent in and the weekend looked wet so I drove home and rode there.
