My plan is to continue with my distanspass but gradually add in more singletrack so I don't mess up my arm any more than it already is. This morning was my first attempt at that with my Kåsjön - Tahult - Jonsered route.

I almost immediately started with the singletrack and it was going well at first. Mind you I should not have managed riding up that steep hill on a trail anyway but even the flat parts were going horribly. Ever since that downhill in Tidaholm last year, my fork has been just useless. I have checked it for cracks or other damage but I do not see anything wrong. But it is absolutely shite in rough terrain. On trails where things are more spread out or on grusväg with holes, things are fine. But in my opinion Rock Shox Recon is not at all meant for XC.

My old betong Trek has always been better at technical trails and my Full Dynamix is the master of långlopp roads. That should be enough for me to realize that my bike room needs a proper XC bike. But I can't afford one this year so for now I will just have to check the market and test ride.

On the positive side, I did this entire route without any energy crashes and no muscle problems at all. Good good.
