What goes up, and up, and up, must come down… I spent about 2 hours climbing to the top of the ridge and about 10 minutes descending the other side all the way to my car. Forest roads, single track, banked turns, and steep drop offs – this was exactly what I needed after a hard climb.
I apologize in advance for the NSFW language toward the end of the video. I smashed the fork into a rock, chipping the paint beneath the thru axle as I tried to navigate between a gate and some rocks. This is simply the first of many stories that will be told by the wear and tear on my bike. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
