After the fast downhill on paved Essex Road a short while ago, I'm still getting used to my new slow speed on this rough road. No more 25 mph downhill!

But I've been out here on the 10-ton bike for 10 days now and I've gotten pretty strong. My legs are enjoying the gentle work-out on this rocky road and are happy that there's not too much sand here.
