About a month after the arrival of the new Stylus and a couple of easy rides to get used to her. I felt like taking her on a longer ride and revisit an old loop I made over 8 years ago with the original 2007 Stylus before 2012.
July 3rd Creekford Rough Stuff
Definitely been a few years not riding and has seen some changes since. Especially as the long downhill from the hydrolines to Creekford Dr is now blocked. But just need a detour which gave the bonus of a wee bit more mileage.
After the wee detour the rest of the ride followed the same route as in the past. It was definitely a hot day to be out and riding this loop. which would be an unplanned test of the Dirty Rides jersey in the heat.
This would be also the longest ride since getting the new Stylus. And it was in some ways weird as didn't notice the difference between this edition and the older version of the Stylus. That to me was a good thing.
After climbing out of the Collins Swamp area it was the usual bash across the fields under the hydrolines heading to Westbrook Dr. Across the road and head further west under the hydrolines to the little waterfall.
Which in the end was dried up and nothing to look at. But still a nice spot to chill out in the shade for a wee bit.
At this point took a break from the 37 degrees by sitting for a bit in the shade. After some fluids it was back on the bike and head for home. And after all was said and done it was a good ride on the new bike. As well as a good test of the Dirty Rdes MTB jersey which handles the heat and sweat well. Happy with both.
