it was pea soup thick mist this morning,i headed up to ride some woods near gifford and also check some new unvisited places i had spied on the maps...
it was 3 degrees at home but once up around gifford -3 freezing fog...
as last week i had paclite waterproofs on and endura MT500 overshoes on top of the shimano MT90 boots,i can never be bothered to put them on but your always glad you did once home,my feet were roasting all day,as was my hands in neoprene gloves,i only took a few pics with the compact as the lense kept steaming up,so i took stills with the tachyon camera and some film,but when i uploaded it i heard the bleep to say it was uploaded and disconected the camera and as routine reformatted the SD card,i was online at the time then went to look at the pics and footage and there was a pop-up saying there had been a break and to retry but i had already cleared the card.......doh!!!!,oh well,im going back up there tomorrow so will have pics for the next post..
every so often you find a real gem of a trail and today i came across some singletrack,about 1/4 mile descent,thats about a minute freewheeling,it will be sweet in the spring,
i was still warm after 3 hours out but it was so damp and cold,glad it was freezing as the trails would have been a slog...
look at the redness of my face!,not overheating,its the cold air..
good thing about riding from home is unlike a car journey,your bikes still wet and washes clean real easy...
same with wearing paclites and overshoes,nice and clean underneath...
roll on tomorrow...
Spooky Trails !!
