A day out somewhere

So we met up for another days ride, we have a guest pop along for the journey on his Tricker, Terry and its a beautiful day


Our first lane we encounter is somewhat narly and after we have gone 50 yards in the only way is down and for a lane of 500 mts or so one and a half hours later we reach the end in a mass of heavy breathing and sweat



We set off for the lovely lanes of Brechfa






Cabbage find all the bogs


This place has all terrains



We then find this lane which has it all including a grumpy bloke at the top of it nippin in my ear while the others come up, but its legal and I hope to annoy him again one day




Somewhere along the ride J teleports us to the face of the moon, how much fun is this, bruised balls is the order of the day. In fact it must have hit my G spot because in about 2 miles I must have pee'd 4 times



Oh look earths over there


Overall a fab day out 9 an half hours of fun and 75 miles
Some spectacular dismounts and a good test of waterproof equipments

Re: A day out somewhere

Yet again another outstanding day with the Welsh posse, an absolute sack load of fun and incidents with more than a few lie downs along the way for everyone .

Thanks again to J and his encyclopedic map collection for putting together a superb route, and to Terry for proving you certainly don't need the latest flash enduro bike for offroading, as he easily managed everything on his little Tricker.

And finally a big thankyou to Phil, for so ably testing the waterproof qualities of my new jacket .

Re: A day out somewhere

Well done for trying it

I'm pretty sure that's not a "lane" Phil!
