Four louder
Just got back from an afternoons messing at Lee Quarry. Great spot for pushing limits and getting used to riding fast over very big pointy rocks. And berms. And doubles. And skinnies.I won’t do all that “the bikes rode really well” thing, but they did. The funny thing was that it wasn’t until half way through this afternoon Ed pointed out I had a 36t ring on my crank (an SLX 22,36 double), when I mentioned in this post earlier that thought I had a 32t. Which means I’ve been riding 4 teeth higher than I thought I had, and not really noticing it.
And I was very glad of all of the 36 teeth on there, getting pretty spun out and ZOOOOM running down towards the bottom of the DH there, over the cute jumps and stuff.
Top time. Lee Quarry. Worth a visit, and if you want to combine a trip there with a skill session – Ed can help you there too.
Here’s a vid of what we got up to.

Yes. Quite focussing, and you get kind of blasé to it eventually. The first few runs are usually a bit stiff.
