#mountainbiking

Finally (!) saw the benefit of n + 1 today. Was all geared up for a roll out on my 29er hardtail, only to discover it had a flattie as I was loading onto the car. Instead of spending time repairing it I just grabbed my full-suspension and carried on. Still need to fix that puncture though 😒 . #cyclist #cycling #cyclistlife #mountainbiking #mountainbike #fromwhereiride #cyclistsofinstagram

Today’s findings: .

1. I really need to practice unclipping from the pedals when I hit obstacles (especially my left foot) .
2. The @goproanz Chesty mount is awesome, but I need to adjust the angle of the camera. .
3. I need to pick a new helmet - more specifically one with a visor. I might as well wear a blindfold when climbing up into the early morning sun. . Was a little more cautious out in the trails than usual - mainly because it was my first time in a long time clipping in while off-road - but also things were pretty sketchy after the rain earlier this week. All-in-all though, a morning of good clean fun (and by ‘clean’ I mean muddy af!). . #mountainbike #mountainbiking #mtb #xcmtb #cyclist #cycling #outsideisfree #fromwhereiride

So in the spirit of making 2019 (and beyond) all about cycling, I may have just entered my first ever mountain bike race 😳
.
Managed to get in early and nab one of the $20 entries to the @in_2_adventure Sunshine Coast MTB festival before they sold out. . I now have until the end of April to train for a 50km XC race around the Sunshine Coast Hinterland - hopefully this will be the first of many! (to be honest I just want to make sure I finish!)
