Night ride

A friend sent me a text late yesterday afternoon asking if I wanted to go for a night ride. I haven't been night riding for months so leapt at the opportunity. I had charged the battery a few weeks back so there was no holding back.

Arrived at the Woodhill carpark at 7.30 and it was heaving with riders. Had a pretty good ride. The brakes on the SS are shot from the clay after the Riverhead ride so I need new pads and a rear cable so I had a bit of trouble moderating my braking so the ride did not flow as much as I would have liked on the downhill bits but the climbing was all good and after 30 minutes or so when I was warm and in the groove it turned into a sweet ride.

Rode for one and half hours - nice way to end the day.
