Now that was a fun ride.
Nice when the first section is the scary warm-up bit, where things don’t seem to be going your way - but then the return trip is when you’re in the zone: carefree, fear-free and flying ![]()
Outward-bound, I had to purposefully UPD (that’s a bit of an oxymoron- but you’ll get me) —6 bikes were two abreast and they were doing a good clip - as was I, for a monowheel, and I just decided to pop off the front as there was no space to pass them safely or time to try and slow down and properly dismount.
Anywho - on the way back I realised what Greg (@harper) means by the well-wish of:
“Ride Like The Wind”…
I got it.
It’s really meant to read: The Hub Rides Like The Wind… and I needs must be like a kite
or the surfer
on their surfboard … and catch its currents.
This hub’s currents are electrifyingly good and today I felt fully plugged in and in no small part thanks to the wonders of the new tyre I’ve installed: Cult x Vans Waffle
