It sure was and to be fair I had such a mental ride there last time that I was over confident :) It’s always amazing how the trail changes though with the weather and seasons. Currently it is like a thick jungle and very tricky to judge corners at speed. The obvious thing to do is to slow down..but what’s the fun in that? :D

I salute you Wharfy!
