Back to normal

It's time for me to get back to reality. My awesome 2 weeks holiday is over, I'm back to work already. So, it means I'm waiting for the weekend like a little kid and then I'm heading out for my usual "once a week" type mountain bike ride.  

But hey! The hardcore Hungarian Summer is in full swing with it's gentle 35 degrees heat, stone splitting sun and dusty dry trails, so there's nothing to worry about! 100% pure MTB action coming my way every weekend! Bring it on! :)

Love early morning MTB spins!

Savage single speed spin // It keeps getting better!

I'm taking advantage of the free time I have on my hands, so I decided to slip out for another mighty single speed mountain bike session this afternoon. This time I wanted to have a real tester on the 1x1 Beast to see who would I manage the heavy climbs on the local trails. I picked a nice but quite difficult route mixing up my favourite singletracks and off I went.

  

I had 2 big and long climbs on the way and I have to say that both of them were pretty horrific on the single speed bike. Horrific but good of course and mostly manageable. Seems like I'm getting the hang of this whole single speed game! Happy days! :)

I've done a bit over 40 km just under 2 hours and 20 minutes with 665 m elevation gain on the way. And I have to say this 665 m was earned the hard way! So, when I got back home I figured I deserve...  

... a little reward! :)

3 spins in 6 days // Great to be on holliers!!!

Now, I think I could get used to this! I managed to get 3 spins in over the last 6 days. Needless to say how happy I am about this as I don't even remember when was the last time when I got to ride my bike 3 times in one week.  

I'm spending my 2 weeks holidays at the moment and I'm only half way through, so I have a good feeling there's still more mighty mountain bike sessions to come. Bring it on! ;)
