Back to the Lanes

3rd May 2010

I couldnt help it, I had to get muddy again. Despite the kick stand problem Ilaunch myself over to the legal byways of East Sussex. It was warm, sunny and the stunning yellow rapeseed fields just made it a superb ride. I learnt that riding with my left foot forward lessened the stall problem. Must get that stand sorted.

While flying over a heavily rooted section I hit my toes, BLOODY OUCH!. Time to get some proper offroad boots. I was skint at this point so ebay to get a bargain on my return home.

Great ride alone and gaining confidence. Tea, laptop and time to get some sturdy boots. My old Dainese road boots were to be retired from mud antics.
