Well it was bound to happen. 2 guys who run their own businesses = mid week bike rides. Zi and I hit Manly Dam AGAIN today!!!
This time I had to try a few things. One was the harder line up the 3 techy steps and 2 was the gnarly drop that I’ve seen someone do but have always gone around the easier way myself.
Zi going up Step 2.
So getting up step 2 is now as easy as piss for me, but step 3 is a little trickier as I lose all momentum before it. Last ride I saw an old dude go straight up the hardest part of step 3 and this time I had to give it a go, took me quite a few goes but I finally got there. I’m determinded to take this harder line every time from now on.
Here’s a small vert drop to steep roll (picture taken from the top) that I saw someone else do once. Zi’s bike in the picture is where the cliff drops off (he’s placed his bike there for a reason!). I’ve always gone around this part but this time I was all padded up and I had to try it.
Picture from the bottom looking up.
Funny thing is I did it once, Zi missed the shot. He was giggling and told me to do it again. He missed the shot the 2nd time too, and I missed the last rock and almost went over the bars. After missing the shot for the 2nd time Zi was now laughing out loud. He told me to do it again and we finally got the shot.
Saaaap! Building on the way back to work. Speaking of back to work, fuck I’ve got a lot of work to do, WTF am I blogging for?!
