Day 1 done

I've been timing myself on the route's singletrack descending stages or "Sp's", to the nearest minute:

Sp1: 34min

Sp2: 12min

Sp3: 16min

Sp4: 7min

Running total: 69min

With LOTS of uphill bits between the Sp's !!!

Mixed weather but overall a good start and very enjoyable day. Oh, and the forks have miraculously sorted themselves out :-)
