Clwyds 26/8

[campbell]

Its been a while since I created a thread, so here goes...

5 of us met up last night at the car park near Moel y Parc and set off straight up a grueling opener, followed by 2 of the fastest and steepest descents I've ever done! It was hold on tight time . Tarbo took the lead and took us on a great little tour, unfortunately I bailed at about 18k, leaving the others to go on a bit more. I'll let them post up about that, and Chris can post his few pics when he stops sulking!!!

Great ride, and hoping to go again next week, especially now that I have those things called brakes!!!

Cheers Keith

A really good ride last night taking in some big climbs, and as has already been said, two of the steepest downhill sections I know around The Clwyds area.

It was good to see Keith and Paul out again, it must be a good few years since we last rode together, hopefully it won't be so long next time.

We ended up doing 14 miles in all, however, 4.5 of them miles involved me pushing my bike back to the car as my freehub went bang at the furthest point away from the car Gareth and Simon offered to walk back or go and get the car but in the end I decided I'd just push back and meet them in the pub afterwards.

I'll post some pictures up tomorrow when I get round to attempting to open Photobucket

Next weeks ride will be posted up in the next couple of days

A good spin that last night. A few new tracks I haven't done before.

The second part became a bit more interesting with a broken freehub and someone else being taken out by a kamikaze sheep on the sheep track.

Hopefully get out again next week.

Some pictures from last night's ride which show just how dry the trails were and also the cracking views we were treated to
