First real trail ride

Packed up the car with wife and kids and bike on roof and off to Coburg to ride Northumberland forest. Arrived just shy of noon and transferred gear from car into a buddies truck and off we went. We met up with a french airforce guy from trenton who was apparently a pretty decent DH'er and did our best to keep up with this flying frenchman.

3 loops of the red trail with a bit of a blue loop to finish. Note....doing the Red trail backwards for last 10 of 35 total Km was a definite workout. No stats as I chose to keep HR monitor off the chest and just had some good ole fun....amazing difference between propedal on/off...super plush but responsive without and definitely more responsive with. Need to play with fork as it seemed a little too much compression with rear propedal on.

Plan....sell my Ellsworth today for 500 (sigh..) and tidy up some yardwood and hit the local trails for a mellow 30 plus km
