I finally got out for a proper explore of Redlands. As @t_w suggests, there are some pretty mega and steep trails round there. It's not often I go out purely to lap a hill and ride some trails, I'm normally more into the crank out a nice loop and link some bits up kinda guy, but with the fork still freshly serviced, slackerizer headset recently installed and some new pedals, it felt like a good day to push myself.
Also enjoyed having Test Match Special in my ears for the climbs and my first post lockdown pint at the plough. Almost felt normal out there. Apart from the strange 'le blanq joyride dining club' refuel stop outside the pub. Proper golf club cycling.
Pick of the trails for me was certainly Black Brook Blast. Swoopy technical fun at the top, some tricky chutes in the middle and another swoopy fun bit at the bottom. Smiles for miles.
