OURIMBAH MTB - 24 FEBRUARY 2017

Yesterday, I had a swim and short walk at Toowoon Bay.

Today, I had a mountain bike ride at Ourimbah mountain bike tracks.

This has the best tracks in the area. It was a long ride with downhills, climbs and a variety of terrains.

Best to just some up the highlights:

An undulating start that reaches a drop that was certainly a bit beyond me to make it through without major breakages. Luckily, there was a more forgiving track to the side.

The rollercoaster was long with speed. A few drops made it so you couldn't get too cocky.

The graveyard was a series of turns through trees.

The magic carpet was up, down, close to boulders and rocks and a few manmade challenges.

It was such a good 7.98 km ride.

Covered in sweat, I drove to the haven for an ocean swim.

Nice start to the day.

Another great ride with Simon This time at Ourimbah. A pretty ride with boulders, drops, rainforest scenery. Nice!



He shared many technical points with me. I felt greatly improved and felt like I did the ride faster and in more control.. Still, some sections were very daunting! I made it without injury but the bike needs a bit of tuning up.
