t's ok, I saw a guy there on a lovely Carbon Nomad, gore bike clothing, pads, etc....all immaculate...

FFS he was riding it like ****ing girl.....all the gear no idea, Jesus! Then when he finished he drove off in his Porsche Cayenne WTF!!!!

Bet he's one of them t888s who earns a 100k and lives in a council house too

Why are there so many people in the world who don't conform to my narrow viewpoint?

I rode llandegla a couple of weeks ago. Running 1x10 and the incline of the final climbs meant it was actually pretty hard going, though riding it mostly with the saddle slammed most probably didn't help (needs a dropper post).

I'm certainly not unfit, i wouldn't begrudge people for taking the odd break and pushing.

It's a trail centre, it's for your average joe to enjoy in any which way they deem fit (though the amount of teens with big bikes, neck braces, sweating over a small jump, attempting to be gnar, made me vomit a little in my mouth).

If you don't like it, go ride some natural, unmapped stuff elsewhere.

I was at llandegla a couple of months back and my chain kept breaking my chain. Two blokes helped me and they were riding with there son's , 9 & 10 year olds on 24 wheeled bikes. I followed them around for a bit which did hold me up but it was a pleasure to watch them ride.
They did it all red & black and would put many there to shame.

My beik has no wheels so I just drag it around the trails like it's a disobedient dog.

@ Woody: that video was class mate, wife and I were well amused, thanks.

I do get funny looks when I light a tab up then ride hell for leather past everyone, riders coming towards me almost always give me a nod then drop their eyebrows. ๐Ÿ™„

I'd draw the line at injecting smack on the trail-side though as kids may come past.

I just went out for a ride and didn't make it to the woods, cbecause it's too chuffing cold. On the plus side, I rode the ENTIRE half a mile back to my house ๐Ÿ™‚
