    C-G a legend indeed. Well what a day. Thankyou so much to Rich and Anna. A perfect day. Not many photos from me; here they are:

    Great riding

    Great company (and no punctures)

    great scenery

    And pull your socks up Pete!!

    Edit: Oh and Anna; lest I forget I worked out why the horses we saw from the pub were so tiny: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmU_q5xrnto

    mboy, yeah i worry that knottie’s camera sometimes has a tractor-beam effect that aims me toward the ground! i manage to break free most of the the time, but i know a massive caught-on-camera stack is long overdue [8O] , no doubt on a river crossing. hope the bad news doesn’t spoil your sunday too.

    I think it’s cameras full stop for me! Will teach me to try to show off though.

    Nah, bad news all rectified now (woman troubles in case anyone hadn’t guessed!) and for the better 😀

    Oh, forgot to say another big thanks to Knottie for picking me up when I stacked (I was quite winded, a touch disorientated, and went VERY limp and couldn’t support myself much less get off the floor!), to Soma Rich for successfully stopping everyone else barrelling on down the trail and into me, and to Andy for supplying the pain killers that made the last bit of the ride bearable (still hurts like hell when I cough now!).

    All good though, played a game of cricket today, and sorted things out with the GF, so defo a good weekend in all…

    Am guessing that is the wheel and foot shot? Agree totally. Good to hear all is well Mark.

    I was away all day Sunday, so I’ll sort the pics tonight, but that was ONE BELTING DAY OUT chaps and chapesses!
    😀

    I could have stayed at the pub all afternoon, mind. It seemed like my back tyre agreed with me too…!

    i’d have spoken to you more poddy, but the ‘outfit’ put me off somewhat 😉

    Sorry. I got dressed in the dark. Should have gone for black instead of the Poison Spider jersey which clashed horribly with everything else. My apologies….

    I cleaned that rocky descent with remarkable ease though. It surprised even me the speed I went down it!

    Bring on t’Alps!

    Thanks to Robin and Chris for leading the faster group. A really great ride. Will never ride up from Chapman’s Pool again – only down. The rocky bridleway to Woodhyde Farm was superb. Even the mother of all pinch flats on the second time down couldn’t take the shine off. Mark – you kept quiet about your tumble? Very impressed with Dr P’s skills. Phil – any tips for the really stupid on how to use your picasa page?

    Can’t place where the “foot and wheel” fall pic was taken?

    7 without a camera between us was a poor show. Would have loved some pics, particularly Woodhyde and Frank’s Tank.

    Pete, that rocky descent was probably nothing compared to what you get cycling across wales 😆

    Indeed.

    VD – hope this is easier for you. This is the complete set, thumbnails with linkys. I’ve played with the odd one in photoshop but i’m no expert.

    btw. by the time we got to Franks Tank I was pretty much pooped. I’m guilty of leaving the decent camera back in the car. 🙁

    Good riding by all with varied terrain and good views.

    vd. sorry really messed that up.

    you should still be able to access the original link which works fine for me.
