for some unknown reason i thought i would ride over the logs crossing the big pond i was 98% across was just about to hit the other side and my front wheel slid from under me and put me in the knee deep pond.

even this couldn't dampen my spirits,, ( no pun intended)

had an amazing day, no more winter blues just get out on the bike and ride..


Exactly what happened to Danny a couple of weeks ago at LQ Laughing , brilliant place to ride and session though.

Well done for getting out - I stayed in all day Sad the pathetic fallosy is kicking in. Think I'll go out on the roadie after school tomorrow. Smile

The jumps can be hard to clear over those berms - managed it once, though I think that was wind assisted Laughing. There is a line that you can roll off a rise, which gives you that bit more speed into the jumps. Think the lip of the double has been smoothed off though - harder to clear than it was before.

The last bit of trail through the woods is good fun. Smile

The brownbacks events there are really good too. Looking forward to next visit already. Very Happy

Look forward to the vids, got a few up on bookface.

yeah i know the roll in you mean,, was considering it today... speed was not really an issue i just could not pop out of the lip or lack of a lip,,, in the end i was physically bunyhopping to get any air,,,
the hip is cool and the double at the end, is good it sends you perfectly..
the last table before you hit the little forest is the best, , i back sided it with out even trying first go,,, defo need to take a spade next time to go to work on those tables..
i quite fancy a night mission a the quarry, maybe undercover of darkness i could do some handy spade work

while you're at it build up the corners on the last downhill section. They'd be so much better bermed!

I definitely lack motivation when the weather is like this

Cold and damp and dull all day

Really have to force myself to get the bike out
