mid week hump ride

unusual wednesday off today so of course i went out for a ride, just to Waseley and then a play in the woods, conditions better than expected but as you can see some places are pretty cut up and boggy. it certainly gets your adrenaline going when you attempt to ride down something like this. this is "certain death", the camera always makes things look less steep than they are and this is no exception. it's also a rooty drop in at the top. i dropped in at ususl angle and it all went rong from there. sideways and with the back wheel trying to overtake the front it was a pinball like ride down through the narrow gaps in the trees, over log drop and into the washed out stream bed. miraculously i survived the trip including the drop down to the road and stayed on the bike the whole way down! 
ride 82
15 miles
total 1770
