Think that I got pwned this morning
« on: 17 June, 2010, 11:33:51 am »
Took my mountain bike out for a quick spin this morning on the closest that my part of London has to offer in the way of singletrack. Relatively steep with a few roots and ruts thrown in for good measure, not much possibility of a loop so I ride out for a few miles and then come back. Not what the experts would call technical but challenging enough for me and makes me glad of the suspension.

Anyway on the descent on the way back I passed a chap with a Surly Cross Check coming the other way. The only slight consolation that I can draw from the encounter was that he was pushing his bike up the slope that I ridden up 20 minutes earlier. We stopped for a chat which was when he told me he was going to ride down the other side!  The slope that I'd been thanking the fact that I had suspension for!

Chapeau to that man!
