Deliverance Descent

This is the Deliverance descent, a Black graded run at Glentress. My 3 nights here were topped off today with a mix of our favourite Blue, Red and Black sections with my buddy Ross. The rain fell all morning but that didn't matter, we had a blast and Ross had his head-cam on so there should be some footage on the interweb soon. LATER : Ross posted a video of me! Great fun :)

When we got to the top of Deliverance, the ladies in the photo were just about to go after completing a full black loop, so I whipped out my camera as they set off.

Big Berms.

Deliverance is matched on the other side of the valley by Redemption, a long and steep climb back up to some fantastic smooth descents to the bottom. One new section I've not ridden before is Burn Baby Burn, a swoopy Blue graded run that we took at top speed. Coming down Good Game after that was just kamikaze and we finished with a very cheesy but sincere high-five. A brilliant ride, Ross recorded it on Strava so it was about 2 hours for 14 miles of trails with 2,357 feet of climbing - and descending!

The weather forecast for tomorrow's ride home looks great, the wind behind me in the sunshine. Lots of relaxation and recovery now before that... Because now it's pouring!
