Went out this aft, everything was set up sweet and every trail just rode beutifully!!! Every section was smooth I was in full flow, felt great, rain stayed away!!! Got home grinning, treat myself to curry, result! Next Sunday may well be different!!! Anyone else had a good un??

generally ok here, has a moment doing the Chimney at a self preservation speed...blimey thats scary, FOFO next time.
I had a bit of a dodgy stomach today, so I did indeed have my flow.
waited until 18.30 - rain had gone away and had a good bomb round my local trails for a couple of hours - fun fun fun!!
We haven't had a drop up here in Calderdale, sorry if that irks anyone!! Ground was perfect, not bone dry, not a mud bath!! Shame wind was in wrong direction on Norland moor but we cant have it all!!!
5 hours of misery. Started at 6, two hours without rain then rain and hail for 3 hours. Soaked to bone. Bike chainsucking like a bastard. Wanted to do more but couldn't stop shaking. Went and bought a road bike to cheer myself up 🙂
Piss wet through, sheep poo up my nose , and got slapped by a branch in the face . Still had my flow on though!!!
Original plan was to do the long - long mynd. Woke up this morning at 6 to full on, road flooding rain and a temp of only 5 degrees.
We poss need to MTFU, but it didn't stop raining here (burton) until about 4 this afternoon which would have meant a long wet day in the saddle. Instead I had a great time round the local trails - they seem to drain well and the ground was nice and tacky (apart from the roots!!)
Yeah, proper rock clattering brain-out descent on the Hayfield side of the Jacob's Ladder track with water filling in the gaps between the rocks for that authentic ribbon of water riding experience 🙂
Erm, dude...
Chalk up one more for the 'got my flow on' group, new trails, great ride, great company, and a lovely pub lunch to round it all off.
No dog toffee all over me and the bike today either!!! Bonus. One of the group got some tho...... oh well
