completely stoned on an innappropriate tool for the job

back on the Waltonberg, this time on the road bike. Infact i found the climb fine, trying to keep the front wheel down was the only problem. the descent, on dirt after was more of a chore. basicsally riding on the tops reduced the amount of leverage on the brakes and i almost overshot a couple of corners and the gravelly bit at the end. inspired I decided to venture over to the Nimmings side and the dirt and stoney climb to the standing stones. This time when i did the descent i had my hands on the drops, much more leverage but this only highlighted how rubbish the standard brake blocks that came with the bar are, might need to invest in something better
ride 50
23 miles
total 1091
