I tried to follow you on Strava but you were too f'kin fast

Certainly doesn't sound like me !!

I often hear snails saying "bloody caravan" as they pass me by.

Your average speed was good over that distance ! Especially with your power stretched out over 80+ km's .

I'm very lucky, there's some excellent riding right on the door step. That run down towards the canal there isn't too bad. It's fast but rough an rocky higher up, and then rocky with switchbacks on the lower half. I think the first time I tried it I fell off 3 times, but I was lucky enough to follow someone down the second time and learnt some good lines which weren't immediately obvious.

There are two more runs just south which are far steeper and more scary with large drops - not made it down either of those yet without falling off.

Went out the other day and met up with a couple of guys on normal bikes who I only know from Strava, so rode with them and showed them a couple of runs they didn't know. Motor off for some of it to make things fair ?!? uhmmmm ..
