Spin out on local trails with the Cannondale Beast of the 'N' East

Todays spin was on some local trails on the Cannondale Beast of the East. This is just such a fun and comfortable mtb to ride. It must be something to do with the heat as the Beast has now also developed a creak on the seat post saddle clamp. Another job to add to the tinkering list of bike jobs to do!
The weather was again a mixed bag of sun and cloud but a lot cooler today and a stronger wind. The trails in the woods are still damp and greasy from yesterdays rain but the main tracks in the open are still bone dry and fast rolling. The Rocket Ron 27.5 x 3" tyres really do role along with no problems in these type of conditions. The lock out on the top of the Left fork again come in handy today on the short tarmac linking sections and smooth gravels ascents.
Below are a few photographs from the ride, enjoy and hopefully more soon -
