The last couple of months have been tough and frustrating due to Covid initially, which I got relatively bad but nowhere near as bad as some others.

The longer term affects of Covid were not as favourable, and I ended up very fatigued and unfit for about three weeks after.

Once I felt like I was recovering, I was then hit with a stomach bug/food poisoning which was way worse, but didn't last as long as the Covid.

This video is from my first proper ride back out on the bike, and man did I need it!
I had been told about this place roughly 4 years ago when I was riding in Contin, but just never got round to visiting. It was however very much worth the wait, and I look forward to returning very soon.
