Temperature Rising Twenty Six

Hopping on the saddle after a few months off the bar was a relief. Kicking off twenty twenty six with a hardtail trail day on old trails which I rode in the early days. Joining me on the shred sess was my old budd from Pune, Zakki.

Riding old lines, jumps and simply staring at the clear skies of a beautiful winter morning of Pune, got the year to a good start.

As the mercury levels rose, the trail hours changed too. Pushing for excellent hill moments at dusk, I clocked in few enduro churns on my backyard routes.

As we approached the monsoons, my Pune exit plan too started to brew. Bringing out the long travel rig in anticipation of the coming months of travelling to bike parks and larger descents.

With the Pune trails still dusty, it was time to pack my bags and head off to the other side of the world for my mountain biking pilgrimage.
