A more tranquil test ride. A little breezy with falling temperatures on return journey. A broken gear cable stopped me from exploring Ashbourne at the end but an easy fix thankfully 👌
There is currently a lot of improvements to the trail along with a high level of coppicing so be careful during working hours especially between Ashbourne and Tissington.
