Aviemore instead of the Wild Boar. Amazing, much better!

A relaxed trailbuilding morning in Dalby - well, more of a trimming back and final scouting of the course for SSUK. Plus a ride on cheeky trails and some of the official stuff to fill the rest of the day in!

A ride in the Peaks on Sunday with the usual culprits. My first visit in 5 years. For me,it's proper mountain biking.It lashed down for the last twenty minutes. I've cleaned the bike,but the inside of my car is a mess.Never mind

On saturday, in return for getting up at dawn with the little b.... kids I was allowed an hours pass, so decided to get out locally on my aged Klein. Was exactly opposite my house on the other side of the river, negotiating a tight switchback when my front rim collapsed and catapulted me end over end. Bruised bum! (Moral of the tale - don't forget that aged v-braked bikes will have aged worn rims. Mechanical idiot? Me?)
On sunday evening I thought I'd sort out my lighting arrangements ready for 24/12, having just got my Hope Vision 4s. Did you know that it never gets dark when you've got new lights to test? Anyway, long story short, despite riding my new bike, I now have two more bruises on my buttocks from 2 more offs.
Why my bum every time?

Another day exploring Glentress. Headed over towards the turbines you can see from mast at top of black. Found another cheeky trail, only about .5km long but different. Headed down a few switchbacks , crashed and fell 30ft down a steep 'cliff' (thanks to the trees for stopping me, but no thanks to the branches which scraped the hell out of me, including my ass). Got an oil leak on my front brake but only found that out during next downhill section when i noticed that the silver lever thing on my right hand didn't make any difference to my speed if i pulled it or not! AAAarrrgh, but positive note, HUB fixed and re-bled it for me then and there. Cracking job
Seen some more trails i wanna try next time

Quality day at home with the kids on Saturday while MrsSwadey went shopping in peace and quiet, then rode the "Midland Monster" sportive on Sunday - only did the short course (71 miles), cracking event, shame it clashed with Crickhowell and Merida and the Mc-Etape etc!

Dalby Forest, single speeding, checked out the Dalby red route on the ss29er to see how much SSUK09 is gonna hurt. Had good weather, trails were nice and found out I was fitter than I thought:)
