Another very wet ride. 15^o C so not cold, but I wore the Event top, and even with it fully open (including pit zips) I was far too hot

 A very wet ride!

(Got interrupted half way round the 2nd lap)

( a bit of a maintenance/cleanup run after a biking event at the weekend blocked parts of my route)

 (some dodgy gpx trackpoints in this!)

A very slow 'take it easy' loop - still red hot at the end though!

Completely ran out of energy half way round!

(slightly cheated on this - at half way didnt go all the way back to the middle level of the playing field, so probably need to add 30 secs to the time)

33:04 - new record! (and thats after 10 hours driving yesterday & no evening meal, not much sleep with Daniel being noisy all night, and just a sausage, bacan and egg for brekky)

34:51 - another good time (and low hr too), would have been a bit quicker but it was raining and I had to stop to clean my glasses half way round

35:04 - A good time. (Looks like the gps data is kinda wacky though, speeds spiking everywhere and total distance is 3 miles out !)

Scraped my shoulder on a low hanging tree branch, bloody sore!

On the carbon Ransom with the Fox 36 Van rc2's

I came across a load of army srtuff half way round so gave up...

1st ride with the Fox 36 vans on the Ransom 40

I've got a bad head cold at the moment, and no energy!

2nd fastest time yet - and I was on Phils new Ransom! I wonder how fast I might have been on my Enduro?? (comparing the heart rate to the fastest time last week shows I was working a bit harder today - or was I just on top form last week and its nothing to do with the bike...?)

Could have (should have!?) been a new record, but was fiddling with speedo and front forks, didnt realise how easy it was!

34:01 - New record! Its been so dry the last 10 days or so, but its beginning to go loose and sandy...

Was looking like a reasonable time (1:16??) as its much drier now - but got a puncture at start of second lap (a tiny thorn)

Dont know whats going on with the elevation - the gps suddenty started showing negative values!

Forgot to start the GPS timer... bike computer said about 40:40

Extremely wet and muddy with all the rain this past few days - tough going!

Includes a quick little loop to re-do the small jump I chickened the first time round

Extremely muddy now! Also did a small jump a few times - theres some bigger ones I'm working up to...

Still very muddy, deep ruts everywhere but its drying out a bit, only had to walk a short section

THE MUD! Everywhere! Those motorbikers have really chewed up some parts of the route (had to walk several times!)

A couple of detours due to a motorbiking route being laid out

(on the Marin Wolf Ridge test bike - in the snow!)

So slow! (its not a good idea to go out on the bike when you're sneezing every 2 minutes)

The Edge stopped recording heart rate after a few mins... dunno why

Could have been q good time, but a yappy little dog got in my way so I had to stop for a minute or more

(same slight detour so time not valid)

(Slight detour at 2 miles in due to army people in the way)

Very slow today (knackered from lack of sleep with Daniel's arrival??) - lots of tree damage and trail blockages too

1:09:26 - new record! Thats two in two days! (had fruit for breky and went out an hour later)

34:39 - a new record! (after work on Friday; had fruit for breakfast, 2 breky buns at work at 8, JCB for dinner and a crunchie in the afternoon; ground is dry, not rained for  week)

On the Marin again, I need to clean my front rotor on the Enduro

On the Marin just to give it a run
