So as part of my Alps training Aled "3Orange" Jones has been whipping me round Degla for the past few weeks, and as he has broken his Five (& 224 ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png) ) he is currently 1Orange and has been riding his P7 Hardtail, as if he wasn't quick enough already ;D Tonight even with a quick Pee Pee stop at the top of the main climb I did a 1:17:37 (it would of been 1:14:24 ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png) ) too much damn coffee in the office ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png)

So as Aled is off the bike this week I replaced him with James Hetfield and I got all serious about waving, Small camelbak Tri-Bars, Aero helmet, Gimpsuit SPD's and I-Pod very loud ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) With my trainers comments ringing in my ears, 1:06:20 to beat (I know you weren't trying Oggy but I needed a time to aim for) and after 1:06:42 seconds I arrived back at the start and nearly swallowed my tongue ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) I make that 11 mins off my previous best and am well chuffed, I'm either finally getting fitter or the trails really are running uber quick. www.endomondo.com/workouts/qqFkTuHIiug

I know it is not our normal patch but, I took the Missus up Whinlatter last weekend and after doing the blue then red (south loop) with her she'd had enough by then. So she suggested I did a lap of the 10km Red (North loop) as a "Willy waggle"....her words not mine ;D So I had a blast around blind for the 1st time and wow, what a brilliant trail...loved it. Not sure if my time is any good but I treated it as a race and was absolutely bust at the end ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Whinlatter Red (north loop) 39m 47s

All sections are now fully open at Degla after the harvesting on the JJ's section, not as bad as I thought it was going to be, the only tree loss is at the top of the little climb leading up to the black bridge and is only about a 500 yard section ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Was on course for a decent full wave but the bloody phone rang and I had to take the call ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png) therefore I will put a marker up of 1h 23m 42s should of been 1:19:00 oh well always next week ;D www.endomondo.com/workouts/oiWr_DYSki0
