Oct 19 Really enjoying the rides and starting to feel like I'm getting fitter. Still a long way to go before the confidence I once had returns.There's lots of muscle memory that has faded or is not as willing and the post ride aches are rife. Hoping that winter wont be a harsh one and I'll be able to ride frequently and more importantly that I'll actually want to ride.#feelingthankful #blessed #MountainBiker #MountainBiking By Mark Photos from Instagram

Oct 08 Had a brilliant ride today mainly because the rain stayed away but it was a real technical challenge in places. First time on Super Nova and 50 Acre. Nova was great but very wet and some large lake-like puddles. I came off and jumped into a tree to avoid face-pls tiong into it on a section of dropoffs that I simply forgot about. Came away unscathed! Super Nova top section was nice and flowy but the lower section was not fun on 24" wheels.50 Acre Woods was really technical and rooty so was just harsh in the wet. Spent most of it groaning at the wheels slipping out. Fast dirt-jump tyres are not the best to use.I'm wet, muddy but happy.#BackOnTheBike #freelancer #mountainbikers #MountainBiking #MountainBiker #Trails #Bristol #50AcreWoods #AshtonCourt #NovaTrail #SuperNovaTrail #BristolMountainBikers By Mark Photos from Instagram
