Cared for my wife from 2017-23. Alzheimer's is terminal, progressive, and devastating for all concerned. J now lives in 24/7 care. 😭 While dying, dad told us his dad & gran were Aboriginal, calling his grandparents a combo - an illegal mixed couple. Who knew? Not me. True? No idea. Yet. I toot as a white man, & benefit from the privilege that brings in Australia. I live on Darug land. I follow people, but get a little confused when people follow me.🤷♂️

More positively, it was a great ride, apart from the stupid crash & blood. Lots of water bars for jumping—one jump was 7.81m with a hangtime of 0.74s! One of my biggest, for sure! You better believed I whooped & hollered! Possibly providing an *idiot coming* alert to the riders grinding slowly up just around the next corner🙄😂

Another glorious day. I rode Linden Ridge (no. 2) firetrail, & explored some singletrack. The firetrail is up & down, out & back, lots of water bars for jumping.
The singletrack was very slow, overgrown, & occasionally blocked by fallen trees, disappearing after 2.5km in a rocky clearing. I've ridden this track years ago, but recall it ended much earlier.
I left it a bit late to also do the Mt Twiss singletrack.
Total 34.5km, 1hr50
Ascent 760m
