My super-extra-long weekend came to a close today. Have to say, there's something to be said for a 6 day weekend
V and I took a few trips up to Fox Creek to get ourselves re-aquainted with the trails up there and MTBing in general. Still wouldn't say i'm very good, and this body isn't getting any younger
; However a lot of fun was had, to the point where I think we're feeling okay enough to sign up for another Bike SA Dirty Weekend
.
Thursday was just about getting out there and having a go. Pizza and Beer afterwards of course

Sunday we pushed ourselves a little bit, doing much of last years Dirty Weekend course plus trying a trail we haven't done before (Bilistic) and the brand new climb (Dream Weaver) that was just opened a couple of days ago. V managed to push herself so hard that that she took a spill while nearly stationary on a fire trail. :o She kept going, but that wasn't the end of the story.
Confidence from both of us seemed to return to previous levels, so we probably just need to work on a bit more fitness, which will also help with the winter CX season.
Pizza, Chips, Beer post ride definitely hit the spot, and pretty sure most of the food groups

Injuries sustained on Sunday by Miss V kept her off the bike today
so instead I did my own ride while she hiked around some of the trails. I tried out a few trails I've not done before (Ant Logic and Climbing Ivy), plus some I haven't done in ages (3 Bridges). Lots of fun, and I'm completely knackered! Hopefully I have enough in the legs to get myself to work tomorrow!
