Night riding is fun!

So I went night riding in Eden last night.

It was with Myra on a sedate ride, but with me, John, Freddie, Werner and Marike there the pace on the climbs was faster than I thought it would be. We were about 11 riders in the group, so we had quite a bit of fun joking and chatting and tuning each other. And plenty of rest on the hills.

I learned of some new singletrack combinations, and also rode some singletrack sections I havent done in a year. Sacrilege!

Halfway through the ride I realised that night riding with a lekker bunch of people is way more fun than sitting at home and watching series. Which is what my plan was as it looked like rain.

In Dalsig there is a trail called G-Spot, it is insanely fun. With a fast upper section and a swoopy bermed lower section that can only be described as surfing on a MTB. We went down that piece of heaven 3 times, the last time I was sandwiched between Marike and Myra, and could talk Marike through the lines while Myra could follow mine.

It was then that I came to the following epiphany:
Mountainbiking is an experience meant to be shared, and helping others and sharing your knowledge adds tremendous value to your ride. Sometimes seeing someone else nail a corner for the first time is just as satisfying as nailing it yourself.

So I'm thinking of doing a play session at the Delvera 4x track sometime with the girls so that we can do some flowing skills type stuff. Pull in if you want to join in the fun...

Peace
