First real night XC run in Melbs

Been a while since my last post... back in Oz after a failed trip to the land of dreams, after having dislocated my left shoulder in the first BC cup race of the season! I guess that's what you get for slowing down!! I'm just recovering the legs from a pretty epic XC night ride last night, on one of those inviting warm, still nights... the best to be out in the forest listening to only the odd sound of a Kangaroo beating it's way through thick bush, and the squeal of the slightly off centred Avid brakes! About 25k was covered, which although was quite short in the scheme of things, ended up taking it out of my legs more than I'd expected. Believe it or not, there are some hills about in Oz that can starve your lungs of breath and legs of anything more than cramps! What a great ride to get me started on my longer night ride endeavours!! ANyone who reads this and haven't been on a night ride, get yourself a light and some new undies, you'll possibly wet yourself as it is a pisser!!
