Ooh... @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org, this comparison between a modern downhill mountain bike, an eMTB, & a Cannondale almost as old as yours just popped up in my YouTube feed. Not long after I was musing on the same idea. 😁 Sam Pilgrim, legendary mtb racer & nutcase takes them all on a timed run downhill. Can the old bike win? It certainly looks *exciting!* https://youtu.be/RUpwRYH_3jc #mtb #eMTB#VintageMTB

More positively, it was a great ride, apart from the stupid crash & blood. Lots of water bars for jumping—one jump was 7.81m with a hangtime of 0.74s! One of my biggest, for sure! You better believed I whooped & hollered! Possibly providing an *idiot coming* alert to the riders grinding slowly up just around the next corner🙄😂 23km 1hr10 Ascent 843m 1/2 #eMTB#eBike#BlueMountains

Another glorious day. I rode Linden Ridge (no. 2) firetrail, & explored some singletrack. The firetrail is up & down, out & back, lots of water bars for jumping. The singletrack was very slow, overgrown, & occasionally blocked by fallen trees, disappearing after 2.5km in a rocky clearing. I've ridden this track years ago, but recall it ended much earlier. I left it a bit late to also do the Mt Twiss singletrack. Total 34.5km, 1hr50 Ascent 760m #eMTB #eBike #BlueMountains
