What a better fitting end to a stellar long weekend than pumping out a 52 km loop in Mansfield / Dufferin Forest.
The last few times in here resulted in a DNF on the 75 km course and subsequent downgrade to the half marathon distance ( 40 km ), a broken XTR rapid rise der, 4 chewed up Mavic Crossmax spokes, Ell ripped a SRAM der off and bent a hanger on his Foes FXC and chewed his cassette. You would almost think this place is a bit jinxed.
The Monkey has been officially shaken.
