Mt. Biking: Kington - Rough Ride Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Max Speed: Distance Covered:
As this is written a couple of weeks since I done the ride past it will
get an extra star :)
I found the first part of the route a bit of a slog and kind of lost
interest abit and decided on the shorter route that and the fact the person
I was riding with was off like a wippet and up out the saddle mashing the
pedals (no way were they going to do the full route)
I had a steady ride trying to take in the senery when trying not to ground
out the pedals as we were riding along deeply rutted tracks, god knows what
it would of been like after heavy rain!
There were a couple of good bits on the homeward leg the steep decent into
the ravine with the stream at the bottom was good then the last couple of
desents I really went for it - no one came past me on the down hills :)
I was right about my riding partner they bonked and cramped up on the 2nd
from last hill - would of been a long day doing the full route. I finished
in just over four hours with stops to wait for person I was riding with.
I can say Ive done it and got the Tshirt but wouldn't do it again I seem to
like a bit more "techincal" bits on my rides.
