My birthday mountain bike ride

This is a photo taken by Nick on my birthday. It was an epic ride, we linked up many trails, and I showed him a few tracks I used to ride as a kid, including this drop-off. It took me a while to get the guts to do this drop-off even though I did it as a kid. It’s not a vertical drop-off but not far off. the photo doesn’t do it justice, it’s much more scary when you’re at the top looking down! I made Nick feel my heart rate when we were standing around just after riding off the drop, it was stuck on about 120BPM, purely from the adrenaline! What a good way to celebrate a birthday.

Not sure why I didn’t blog about this earlier, I guess I was busy with our engagement party the following day, and now I’m taking some annual leave and cleaning up photos on my phone.
