Yes, it was good. I had fun!
The closed loop was quite tricky in spots (as previously), and I shuddered every time I went up that little pinch (where I broke my foot 2 years ago!).
The forest loop was also very challenging in spots. One particular looooong, rutty down-hill track had the leg muscles (and brake cables) getting stretched to the limit. Then, the subsequent long up-hill climb, complete with large erosion mounds and hidden deep puddles, was equally a treat. I must admit, I was a bit surprised about some of the tracks that were chosen for the forest loop, but it was all good.
It was a very warm day and quite hard to get motivated after lunch and a cool down, so I tapped-the-mat around 2:30, said my good-byes and headed home.
Thanks to all those involved.
