Had planned to go out on Saturday morning but it got to Friday night and I really couldn't be bothered and ended up falling asleep on the couch at 830 - a week of training, poor sleep and quite frankly some mental issues meant the drive wasn't there, particularly as none of my usual group were out either.
A pretty shit weekend followed (mainly caused by me tbh) but luckily yesterday was a public holiday out here in the Wild West and I had enough drive to pump my tires and suspension up and charge my bike.
It was drizzling on the way to the trails - for the first time in months - but luckily when I got to Kalamunda it was only foggy. 20km of a fairly sedate ride followed and I could really feel the tension lift off my shoulders and the smile start to widen. Bike was riding well - 5 extra psi in the rear shock made a fair difference and despite not being in the saddle for 5 weeks I didn't feel too bad either.
had to stop and clean my sunnies a fair bit, and sacrificed some blood to the trail gods (again) when my pedal pins took some chunks out of my shins but for a while I felt great.
Most of the rest of the weekend sucked, this was definitely a highlight
