rode it on sunday, a bit sticky and slow along the top going up through the trees
and coming down from tha too but it was slidy and and lots of fun, rest was very dry and fast, loved it
Cheers might give it a go then
Yesterday was the first and last time I will ride 'Cafell' at night in thick fog with a seatpost seized in the tall position!
An odd trail ... not too sure what to make of it. Don't want that to sound unappreciative. It's clear a lot of time and effort has gone into building it.
Well I finally got around to it yesterday. The climb is steady in terms of altitude gain but the uppy downy bits make it hard to get a rythmn going. Overall excellent though - hard work, not much chance to rest(although there are a few flat bits), and the descents are a fair bit more challenging than Twrch. Harder on the body too - my core got a good workout.
It was dry though, I can imagine it'd be worse in the wet. I'm just chuffed to bits that someone's gone to all that effort in my (almost) back garden - whoever made that decision, I'm very grateful! Thanks! Now have the chance to do a serious amount of trail centre riding there - a lap of Cafell, a lap of Twrch then up Cafell to the Giant's Carpark, switch to Twrch and finish on the DH 🙂
