A Tale of Two Baiku's

[Augustus]

A Tale of two baiku’s.

Saturday.

Mountain Baiku: Somehow get motivated in the most foul of weather to leave the house on a bike. The kind of rain that you are soaked by the end of your road. Wait at station for the train to the hills. 31mins late. Consider standing for 41mins in the wet and cold and turn round and go home. Thoughts of cross biking it fade and feelings of a pub lunch emerge. Shortest ride of my life.


Sunday:

Mountain Baiku: Meet Salvage Tech on time and early. Spin fast through the woods. It’s wet out here. And soooo muddy. Tired but having fun. Finally wake up on the last road stretch home. An afternoon of cleaning, fettling, stickering and gazing at bikes unfolds. Watch Grand Prix, eat syrup waffles. Best ride day of my life.




What's a Baiku?

you should come for a ride here, trails are still amazingly dry, hardpack & even dusty in places... its v.cold tho!

Much more successful than my ride yesterday.....


Motivate myself to get out on the bike - 1hr 40 of plugging my way through sandy water and mud meant nearly the same time cleaning afterwards - hate to think what the sand has done to the bike.

Sand and cycling shorts = no fun.

Still the grand prix was good though
