Went to Bedgebury today - car park is open, as are the toilets, but the cafe/visitor centre is shut.
The majority of the trail loop is open, but there are a couple of diversions, pleasingly they've not bypassed the sections with jumps, so I'm guessing it's for trail repair rather than risk reduction.
I'm faster up a hill due to lockdown Zwifting, but I'm much more cautious in the turns and especially in the turns whilst going downhill - I need to regain familiarity with the bike.
I think I also need to swap back to my Rocket Ron/Hans Dampf rather than the Magic Mary/Nobby Nic, as I have a degree of rolling resistance commensurate with sounding like a Camel Trophy Landie when on tarmac.
Great to be back in the woods, anyway. I'm going out for a run tomorrow, then might get out on the bike Monday morning - stupidly I lost track of the days and agreed to an important meeting with the German team on Monday (they don't have a bank holiday on the Monday, and I forgot that we do).
