So, the bike is built and was given its first run on the weekend thru the Otway Ranges just outside Forrest. The result. It handles fantastically. My ability to ride it was slightly less than fantastic. I fell off six times... or there abouts. Lost count after 20 odd k's. What caused the falls? My inability to unclip from the pedals. So every fall was at 5km/h or less. I looked like a tree falling. If a varge falls in a forest, what sound does he make? ppfft.
No damage, just some bruising and scratches.
Can't wait to get back out on some trails but it won't be this weekend.
Rib work on Friday.

And I hated my clipped pedals when I first got them. The clips were too tight the first time I rode with them and I couldn't get my feet out in time... Fell over at a Stop sign in full view of about 10 people who stared at me like I was an idiot.
