Notes:-Cannock Chase Follow the Dog red route. Brilliant day out in the van. Intended to do the monkey trail which splits off the dog but must have missed the sign. This was quite gruelling but has some great down hill corners. The trails were very quiet due to it being mid week. Another good reason not to be at work. Unlike road cycling MTB is a bit more intense. You need to have your mind focused on the trail so no time for the brain to churn over crap and worries. Did two loops of Perrys trail which is moderate but short, probably best to warm up on this first next time. This was a reminder that there are also good days amongst the bad. Steph also started taking mum out today and it sounds like mum enjoyed it, so something else positive.
