After two rides that were about 5hrs each I am suffering a kind of overflow. I literally tasted the smell of those trails even some days later, and the imagination of going for the next ride was so real I could not bear it. Have to recover by slowly riding the easisest trails with very little emphasis.
That's what happens when living for 25 years in the same place, you have ridden everything around over and over again, all year round. At some point one wonders whether one is becoming a part of the land, going round in circles over and over. Riding more technical did not change that. Occasional trips to bikeparks or more far off places like Finale or LaPalma helped for the moment.
I dont want to become 80 still riding in circles like a hamster in bis cage. I could imagine starting doing something completely different still...but probably wont. Maybe I would become sick If I stop it and become ill for the next 20 years...? It is raining outside.
