Biking Adventure... part 1
Studying for exams make me dizzy so i had to take a break and go out for some fresh air. Headed over to a nearby trail to do some biking. I knew how to ride and have been cycling since i was like 6yrs old but it wasnt until today that i had a taste of cross country mountain biking. This particular trail is probably average at most but seemed quite difficult for a beginner like myself. I even had to lower my seat post all the way, sacrificing pedalling efficiency for the much needed balance.
Hopefully, my skills will progress as i had to get off and walk through most of the more challenging obstacles. There were even some jumps and teeter totters built by locals. Despite being tempted to try them out, I'll save it until i can ride properly. The angle of the picture does not do it justice, as it was at least a 10ft drop.
But overall, it proved to be fun and i will be back often since this trail is (relatively) close by. Its quite scenic and relaxing to ride, shame i didnt have a proper camera on me.
