Quick blip up and back on the singlespeed tonight. Just needed to get out after not doing so on the weekend. 29r on the front, so back to 69r. Grunty climbing up standing til the dogparkcarpark then a couple seat adjustments and sitting a bit. Clambered up into the 19th pines, small detour to explore a future potential (and a quick chat with Doug), then on up and over to Skidder, and up the gutser... Walking from the usual walking bit, then riding once it levelled off a bit, pushing hard. Another short walk above the next cattlestop and then riding through Brakefreezone and up into Worm across. Back across to top of Vic and seat down dropping into Thomson's #1. Nice blast down here, around the bends at the bottom climbing out, then back up the road to the top again.
Down and around, past the first jump, brief pop off the second, down through the gate, down Rabbit into Rocks, Gums, back and forth... Lack of shocks in here a bit jarring (I think bigger front tire/rim combo, or back to T's 27.5+ on the front might assist in here... or a shock fork?). Not a bad blast down through here, tho as I say, a little jarring a couple of times. Onwards down through to the gate then a cruise down the road around and down and into the Dog Park Carpark, flying into the singletrack and bombing down here. Wetspot dry enough now, then the jump. I rolled up on it, checked out the landing, dry, so walked back up and hooned on in. Next *new!* jump, nice gappy number, again, rolled in, checked it, walked back, rolled in popped it, sweet as, then on down through the oaks and out all the way to juuust about the bottom of all the new stuff, before bush-bashing back up to the road, and riding home.
