Venture Social Ride

[ootini]

Hi, I went for my first "proper" mountain biking ride on Sunday with a few guys from here and the Venture facebook group. Gotta say, that even though it was a "social" ride it was very, very heavy going. Long climbs on wet grass just destroyed my legs, and proved just how out of shape I actually am. Really, really enjoyed it though. Never realised there were so many bridal ways and trails around the area, I think the route was basically Brynford - Lixwm - Rhes - Y - Cae - Halkyn mountain - Brynford.
I lost my nerve on a couple of the downhill bits too, but I'm hoping that will go as I build confidence and experience on the bike!
Either way, I loved it and can't wait for the next one.

Oh, and for what it's worth, I'm in bits this morning. Legs are knackered, back's aching, Achilles tendons are screaming and I feel like I did 12 rounds with Freddy Mercury.
