Keen to try this route again without the downtime for mapreading and the one short dead end.
Accurate stats messed up by the computer sensor not being on for the first few minutes (presumably got knocked a mm off when the bike got washed) and then again during the trip. This time I can only think that a rocky trail section vibrated the sensor out of range.
Anyway, with a little guesstimating ... 25km in 1hr 52 minutes, almost all of it continuous. This is more like it - the minimum Merida event distance in a sensible amount of time. I did feel like I was pushing against the clock all the way.
The offroad sections were actually muddier in places than a couple of days ago, though we've had no more rain. My guess is that more water has drained into the lower areas that tend to muddyness - and then these got churned up by horses.
This is the only area I've cycled in with lots of horses being ridden - passed a live one each time out so far, plus steaming mounds of evidence everywhere on the trail. Why don't they have to clean up after themselves like dog owners?
