February 17, 2025,Mountain Bike Ride with some added Downhill sections

First proper ride out for 2025. This time on the full sus. Frosty and icey so very cold. Toes did start to go numb by the end, back to the sweet shop in Beeding. Nice views with a casual fog / mist in the distance. Added some downhill trails on the way back.
