Solo MTB – slayed my demon – woohoop

I have been cycling solo for many years, though mostly road with a little gravel. I ride with others regularly, but also very much appreciate doing my own thing without company.

With MTB that I got into in earnest in the last 3/4 years, I have always baulked at the idea of going on my own, to an extent possibly understandable as I do like my rocky and stream fast silly descents – but also the idea (F) being far out on my own… ANYHOW! woohoop so today I thought I needed to get over this so I went out on my own, did an intermediate ride, so no "peeing your pants" technical mayhem, but enough mayhem to get the brain crunching, blood pumping and the body moving in weird angles, and I LOVED IT – I LOVED BEING ON MY OWN.

So I slayed my fear demon and will next time do something a little more fun (more techy).

Only thing that went "wrong" 🤪 was my waterproof socks, proved themselves to be no longer waterproof and went through a lot of water which in turn got stuck in my socks 🧦 had to stop to empty them 🤣
