Yep ill be there as long as the weather aint to shiote, i should be there between 6 and 6.30

Well guys....respect Shouldn't have bothered should I

The so called easy route was way beyond my abilities, I've never seen never mind attempted anything like that in my life and it was just impossible for me God knows how you rode that Oggy, I really didn't know where to start The combo of steepness, cambered slippy roots, drops, ruts, mud etc would make riding it impossible I would have thought, but somehow you guys were gone and I was left trying to climb down the rest of the section after the first 100yds I think I would have killed myself if I tried to do that again so I knew it was time to call it a day and watch you guys come down those steep drops at the end covered in mud and grinning from ear to ear Respect to Osh for making the 30ft vertical drop look like a walk in the park
Think I need some serious tuition from someone on downhill techniques and how to deal with that sort of stuff as I really had no idea

[Oggy]

Top night lads, nice to ride some real downhill, got faster and faster on every run, would love to go there for a full day, I was gutted when it started to go dark . Fairplay to Dan78 for doing the 30ft drop in, you were going well down them tracks m8, top man for the uplifts to and the other lads with the yellow transit.

Will have to get back there soon for round 2.

Spinner, flat pedals for you next time m8, its not the sort of stuff you want to be attached to the bike

Ps well done to Dave and James for finding the place in the end

[robcorney]

its worth a trip then? What would getting to the top be like without an uplift? and whats all this about a 30ft drop!?!

[James]

After eventually finding the place had a good time but damn what a hell of a lot mud. I haven't even attempted to clean my bike yet

Thanks to Dan78 for lifts, wouldn't have many rides before the light went without the uplifts.
