I'm there tomorrow. I very, very much doubt they have not been flattened. But will report back if so

And riding faster than I've ever ridden them!

Even with 20 miles in the legs already, smashed PR's on Dowies 1 (and dipped under 2mins!!!), Dowies 3 and Bluebell surprise...

Mallards Pike was riding incredibly fast today too...

Got to say on my winter hack today they were sweet as! Just wish my new bike had been delivered in time. My mates on their full sussers were flying.

Mallards is awesome Wilko!

Did several trails over there today, got a PR down Viper 1&2 by 6 seconds, despite binning it, having to pick myself up, and get back on the bike again! That's how fast it is right now... Cleaned the Quarry drop for only the 2nd time too so well chuffed with that.

Nice, quarry dropin is great, don't look down to the left though. Heckler is my favourite over there at the moment, and there's a new one over the road called Stoner now with a nice gap jump across the Blackpool brook.

Yeah we found that trail with the gap across the brook! Didn't know it was there, shame my mate stopped in front of me as I was tanking it, would have cleared it by miles...

I've stopped and looked to the left on Quarry Drop before. I'm scared of heights! I went VERY green shall we say.
