Marin 4/1/09

[ady]

Went up to the Marin today, John was there but he came without his SPD's so he had to stack it in the carpark and go home .

It was getting quite busy when I set off and on the second descent came across a girl who had an over the handlebars moment on the steep bit before the bottom and had a face plant, so I stopped and got my first aid kit out and one of the guys with her patched her up, she was a newbie so that was it for her after that so I showed them the quickest way back to the carpark. ( She said she wouldnt let it put her off though, just as well as she had a shiny new Giant)

Then another chap needed my shock pump to sort his fork out, I was beging to think it was going to be an eventfull day, luckly that was all the drama I had apart from a cracking good ride.

Here's some pics, they are a bit blurry as I used my phone,

Hats off to all the hardcore winter riders

Hopefully all this riding will pay off in the spring when the nice weather is out and we can really tear up the trails
