My legs felt a lot better today and
I was in an alltogether better mood as well. So I decided to try the
last part of my Secret Meerdael Loop in the reverse direction. I
started out quite late and with some dark clouds gathering towards the
evening I only had 1h30 or so of reasonable light. With reasonable I
mean when I still can see where I am going in the downhills under the
cover of the forest . When it becomes too dark surprises are never far
off. My leg feeling proved correctly since I made all but one of the
climbs. And the one I didn't make had a 40cm step in it where my rear
wheel just slipped away on the root forming the step. The forest floor
was surprisingly dry, some contourable wet patch notwithstanding. I had
a good time and was able to sort my thoughts out. I saw a nice full
suspension bike today and was wondering if it would be worth following
it up. It concerns the Ellsworth TiRuth, basically a Merlin Sworks 4.0
with an Ellsworth badge. I have no idea if Ellsworth is having
dealerships in the Benelux but I know Merlin has. Although I think the
Merlin Sworks 4.0 sells for 3000 / frame only and a little voice tells
me the Ellsworth will at least as expensive. Hmm, like I said, worth
looking into.
