Yup. Tomorrow I’ll go again. Decided to ease into it again, as lockdown isn’t even remotely lifted here yet.
Today was remember how to ride knobblies on the road, and hit one easy track. Maybe tomorrow do a couple more tracks and regain some confidence.
After really pushing the Avon road tyres to their limit, I was reminded a number of times what skidding the front knobbly feels like. Oops.

bother a few ramblers.
Only did the same stretch as yesterday, plus the final gravel bit, and back in reverse.
Mostly dog walkers, and one totally out of control horse being circled by the rider’s three dogs. Absolute madness.
Saw it from a couple hundred yards and stopped til there was a safe place for her to stop, to pass further up. By then a group of enduro guys on two-smokers were oncoming. Waved them to stop.
The lady lacking any body armour (helmet thread>>>>) could barely control the thing as it chose to circle, back almost on top of me, and generally refuse her kicking as I waddled backwards to keep clear.
Bearing in mind the amount of space I’d given, it was a pretty big gesture by the horse.
Finally she cleared off and chatting to the riders they think it was the same person as a few days earlier, and one remarked that she was crazy “not even a helmet, did you see that?”
Kind of funny (considering the reputation of enduros) they were shocked that a horse-rider would go out naked.
