I decided to give Mcleans Island another go and give my legs another chance. I like the MTB tracks in Mcleans Island Forest Park because on days like today the trees give shade from the summer sun and Shelter from the cold easterly wind. The main exemption at the moment is the befogging of the Corringa loop where the new trees are less that a meter tall after harvest a couple of years ago. There the sun beats down and the wind is malignant. Again after 12km I asked my legs if they were up the extra 5km of a second Coringa loop and they reluctantly agreed on two conditions. Firstly a stop at the upcoming track crossover overpass for a drink and secondly a cream bun on the way home. They couldn’t agree on classic raspberry or chocolate so I had to decide when the time came. All in all a better performance than yesterday.
