Had a bit more time today so I came up the long way on the other side via Maia. I usually reserve that run for strong tailwinds but I thought that Signal would be pretty wet today after the rain that pelted down last night so I was keen to have some variety.
I managed five runs in total and while the rides up the 4WD weren’t too bad, it was pretty slippery on the way down. In fact on my ride home I met someone who had come off in the rock garden an smashed their nose and hand but were still riding.
So slow, uneventful riding which is just as well. It was happy to get a few loops in after yesterday’s curtailed riding.
Millie even got me a couple of new beers to try so that was a treat. Beer of the day today: Moa brewing Southern Alps white IPA. Apprently this was NZ’s best beer in 2018. I wouldn’t go that far. I liked it but not as refreshing as the salted peach. Everyone else thought it was odd.
Song of the day: The Numb/Encore mash up by Jay Z and Linkin Park. It would be so easy to take a couple of great songs and ruin them but this mix definitely works.
