ChrisF Posted January 2, 2019 Share ..... After D'Aria I settled into a nice rythm and picked up a bit of speed on the level section ..... got used to the longer A-frames, then had a slight oops on the one steep A-frame.   Fortunately just a few scrapes, most importantly, no damage to the bike. ..... Few scrapes .... Some bruises .....  But I did manage a slow 2km ride this afternoon ...just keeping the muscles loose .....    Another recovery ride tomorrow, and hoping to be back on the trails by Friday ....

DJR Posted January 2, 2019 Share Not my bike, not my ride, not even my hotel, too poor, paying with Rands, but if ever you stay at he Savoy in Florence, please use one of these and post it here! The doorman gave me a dirty look when I showed too much interest in his bikes. JohanDiv, Wayne pudding Mol, Zatopek and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocknRolla Posted January 3, 2019 Share Started overcast, looked like it may clear up, but closed up nicely for a fairly cool and blustery ride.Loads of grip on the damp trails.Edit: Cradle route from home. A nice 60km route with about 800m of ascent. When I am feeling stronger, I may add to this, or at least sniff out some climbs to add to the ascent.
