Marin 3/1/09

[Rob]

Did the Marin this morning thanks to a Phone call from Oggy, So it was Me,Oggy,Dan and Dave and the trail was in great condition and so was the weather it was stunning just a little bit of ice around but nothing severe on the tracks, the lakes around the Marin were completely frozen over we even did a bit of walking on one before some cracks started to appear

Only 2 falls from the day believe it or not i am not included although i did break my SPD pedal one was Oggy on a fire road ;D and Dave on the last section, hope your feeling better now mate.

So that is my X-Mas riding done and now ist back to reality, cheers guys and see you all soon.

No pics exept on Dans phone the only camera we had.

Thought I'd better get the pics up then as there's a couple of "special" Oggy lying down on the ice.

Had a really good ride today boys, conditions were superb (dusty bikes ) and the banter was flowing.

Yes folks he really tried to ride over that sheet ice. The clever cowardly ones among us just went around the side.




Parc lake looking very serene (pic taken from the ice).


Oggy and Rob looking sooo at ease on the ice with Dave taking the cautious approach in the background.


How're the bumps and bruises Dave? Mega crash that one, horrible when you lose the front at speed like that.
