OR use the nitrile ones and wash your hands with em on and reuse them. Just a thought.

Oh I knew that would have been someone from here! @The Reverend said g'day to me at the carpark as I was about to head out. No mistaking that machine.

I'll bank it just I case I ever go dot fluid again. Until then each time my hands get mineral oil on them it's time to celebrate!

Wet ride last night. Rode like an absolute muppet; if there’s a slick root out there that I didn’t slip on I’ll be very surprised. Rain cleared for a brief moment so the crew could get a photo with the moon behind us. (I’m barely visible - back row centre)
And when it comes to mtb suspension, I’m like Ned Flanders with cable tv. Have all the travel and don’t use it:

What you do with mineral oil all over your hands is between you and your priest.

I'm not touching and oily priests.

Don't worry it's usually the priest doing all of the touching.

It’s great fun and a nice crew. I don’t get there as much as I’d like with kids training on Thursday evenings now, but trying to get there once a fortnight or something.

How far do you go and what trails? Need to get (remotely) trail fit...

On a decent night there’s enough for a Pain group and a Sane group. Sane would do around 22km at a moderate pace (about my limit in terms of climbing pace at the moment) and Pain around 26+km. They mix the rides up a lot, so no set route. They use pretty much all the Kalamunda trails and often will venture into the unsanctioned stuff as well. Last night was Trail of Awesomeness out the back of Gunjin, which pretty lives up to its name. Probably my favourite of the trails out there.

Ugh, even Sane is outside of my range. Once up Gunjin is about my limit at the mo, and maybe 15km distance. Need to get Zwift back on...
Where is Trail of Awesomeness? Not come across that before...

One of the unsanctioned trails. Comes off the Munda Biddi south of Gunjin and takes you around to Mundaring Weir Rd to the east of Lockwood Rd. Just a really nice hand built trail.

Yeah, thought it might be. I'll have to look it up!

Got out at dawn for a ride
Swapped my dropouts over last night and it made an improvement to the bike, although need to ride it more to work out if real or placebo
Felt really bad though, so was slow and walked a lot. Still feeling crap now I’m home so hope it’s not COVID.
Also managed to ride half the loop with my shock locked out

Do you make sure you're really well hydrated before you head out @Rorschach?Got out at dawn for a ride

I know if I'm dehydrated (or just not really well hydrated) I tank pretty quickly on a ride. Can't just be chuck a glass of water down before you head to the trails, needs to be across the course of the day. Made a big difference for my riding. Learnt it from/was reminded to do it by @moorey - and safe to say he knows a thing or two about smashing out km's.

I’ve got a bottle of water in the car I drink on the way and I normally get through most of my pack - about 2L - on a ride so I don’t think it’s that. That’s my normal routine, and it works pretty well for me
I still feel shit now too, so probably unrelated to riding

Could it be related to last night's hookers and blow?

Potentially, if by hookers you mean one beer and by blow you mean an interrupted nights sleep?

Finally got past my slackarsedness and completed the 5010 upgrade which I should have finished before the house renovation. Also had a fine Tonkotsu Ramen at Gyogo.
Anyhow, added a 160mm Bike Yoke Divine post, SDG BelAir 2 Ti saddle, new wheelset with Lightbicycle AM730 rims, DT Comp spokes with brass nipples and Hadley hubs, Pike Ultimate 140mm with MRP ramp control and matchy matchy fork stickers. All fitted together damn nicely and is more funky than James Brown in 1977.
As a bonus, the local groms are building a few jumps in the park across the road. I promised to respect and look after them till they get a bit sun-baked. I surely will hit them while they are at school and it is a slow day.
Tis done, now, dry weather please
