Classic Baltic sand dune forest with a dense track network is what middle race mountain bike orienteering is all about, today was brilliant, a smile on my face the whole way around the course.
Organiser Johan had asked if I would mind riding with some TV station go-pros on, it was a bit of a phaff getting it to zip tie on to my helmet and handle bars but it definitely made me attack some of the singletrack sections to get some good footage.
I had a great ride, two small mistakes, firstly on number one when I was trying to get into the map scale and later number 19, where I went in too early, probably a minute lost in total.
I was probably riding faster than I should have done but it was great to be back riding properly, I hope I don’t regret it later!
