Meeting at the hut and doing all the good stuff Ticknock has to offer, mostly natural.

Lights essential! Post if coming.

First night spin in a while and it showed, slow and clunky in the descents, but the climbs were a breeze.
Great route Tony, thanks for steering and great to see Mal again, been too long.

It's amazing in the climbs, totally feels like cheating, but it means that I can cycle to the spins instead of driving. I made it from inchicore to ticknock in about 50 minutes which isn't much more than the car would take at that time and made it back in about 20 minutes with about 30% left in the battery so no issues there.

It does feel heavy in the descents, like you come down hard on anything steep or jumpy and takes a bit of getting used to. It's very forgiving, just not very graceful, you can go through things instead on flicking around them so it's a very different style.

Had one OTB yesterday, possibly because the brakes are on backwards so still figuring it out.
