Opportunity arose for O and me to go for a ride, with him on his new bike (Trek Roscoe (P. Coltrane)), and for him, a bit of training for Wednesday's school XC racing. We headed over to Bowenvale valley and rode up the gravel, steep stuff getting my asthma going, had a puff just into the trees, and then on up the steep into Hidden Valley 'bonus' climb. Stopped and scoffed a few blackberries, then on up the steeperer to the fence and under the pylon. Into the first descent, stopping now and then to see how he was going. He was liking it a lot more than his old bike. Bombed down through where he crashed last time and twas all good. Out the bottom and into another climb.
I felt better this time, plenty of air, whereas he was struggling a bit more this time. Into the down, faster again, and feeling really good. Him not quite so much,but no crashes and he enjoyed profusely. A good short blat.
6.72 kms in two laps with 281 m climbed.
