/looks at the floor, knowing that tomorrow he's going to be overtaken, on a climb, by a man with no gears. I'd best go dust the thimble collection and work on my needlepoint, oh so much too do! (its all in the preparation)

Lol, I have no balls but a huge gut! I think my missus will come past first! Oh and she's on a SS too and is a much betterer rider than what I am.

I'll be there too but riding gears as I'm almost as gay as wokboy with my broken ribs.

what time you folks getting there? I'd best work out what ungodly time I should set off

I too have a debilitating sporting injury that will most certainly be the cause of my pathetic performance (I trod on a chess piece earlier)

That'll be just about everyone there then! Don't forget your body armour it's compulsory at trail centres!

just got back from Whites Level, didn't see any odd folk without gears though ๐Ÿ™„ some cracking sections on the trail but having thought long and hard about it all the (102+ miles) way back I'd say there are some sections (Energy, that wooded section and the section straight after it) that felt like they didn't "flow" as well as, say, Cwmcarn. Speaking of which I think I need to go give that another blast soon...

...cheers for Krag for showing me around and waiting for my unfit self to catch up ๐Ÿ˜€

You might not have seen any odd folks without gears but did you see 'tollah's sick pile on the side of the first climb? ๐Ÿ˜‰

I'd say there are some sections (Energy, that wooded section and the section straight after it) that felt like they didn't "flow" as well as, say, Cwmcarn.

The Energy section was added a while after the rest of the trail had been opened, and it always feels to me like it belongs to another trail.
