Great pics those si with a mobile  Got to say, that trail was awesome, I still can't quite comprehend how much work must have gone into constructing both loops to such a high standard. |

Hey, looks like a good ride and the weather was sweet. I woke up this morning at my other halfs house and her room looks out right up the Ogwen valley from Bethesda, frost everywhere and white mountains, a lovely crisp morning. No riding for me though, gutted  What was the trail like with the frost? Its deadly enough in the wet without ice There are a few nice pics there lads, do you mind if I pinch a couple for the forum gallery when we get it sorted? That sheep looks a bit of alright, might pop tomorow and see if shes still about ;D |

Yep - the boards were covered in sheet ice - one of the lads at the front came off on them and landed flat on his ass so we decided to be safe and walk em for a bit That's our excuse anway ;D |

Yep - the camera on me mobile takes a pretty good photo to be fair  Agree - noth loops are great - the last 20 minutes or so on the decents after the open bit is awesome - have to keep the concentration though or it's off |

That sheep looks a bit of alright, might pop tomorow and see if shes still about ;D The trail was as icy as hell and had to be REALLY careful We were first out on the trail so we were breaking the ice - took it in turns to go in front - certainly made it edgy stuff all round ;D A couple of offs but nothing serious. A few of the short rocky climbs were just solid ice!! 6 of us in total and it was good to ride with a couple I had not met before. |
