Yep. Keef, Joe, Scott and I went to Coed Y Brenin in North Wales last weekend to ride our mountain bikes. We left on Friday night and returned on Monday. We therefore had two full days of riding.
It was farcical, thrilling and hard work. The conditions were muddy, humid and occasionally very very rainy.
Saturday - We rode the Tarw trail at Coed -
3 broken chains (Scott / Joe)
1 busted rear mech hanger (Scott)
Appx 7 crashes (Scott and Joe)
Rocky rocks, big steps, me at the back on the way down, and at the front on the way up..
Then we did the Temtwr -
Less rocky - the swoopy bit at the start was great.
A massive climb.
Then, as we were slowly getting used to the rocks, a faster descent for me and only a couple of crashes on the 'Beginning Of The End'.>
Sunday - We rode the Red Run at Llandegla
It was great. I think we all preferred Llandegla. Not so rocky for us Essex men. Fast flowing, hairy and with a few big climbs.
The others did the Black Run diversion; I didn't. By all accounts it was hard and great.
We then did the Blue run and went 100mph on the berms at the end.
I award myself 'King of The Mountains' (sorry Joe, but I was always first up). 'King of the Downhill...' goes to Keef. 'Stunt Man' goes to Scott and Joe gets the 'General Classification'.
A great weekend. A weekend I shall remember.
Back to Danbury this Sunday.

Thanks for the 'stuntman' label, i would have preferred not to have fallen off so much, it starts to hurt more after the third time.
It was indeed a great weekend, with the faster trails and the Black run of Llandegla being the adrenalin fueled highlights.
We'll do it again
