Chip Butty,

Me too. In KDH. Those hills look like they could reveal some classic biking. Sadky the mine fields would make it more of a challenge than desired.

Hi guys,

Love the pics, keep em coming.

Miketroid, Im also at KAF. Your right those hills do look interesting. I bet theres some cracking singletrack decsents. Like you say though, a bit more than the trail ahead to worry about ;).
Parkesie, Poo pond is still smelling ripe!
Just keep thinking about my Op allowance when I get back and all the bling I can spend it on.

Good luck and come home safe. Trails are quite wet and soggy so it's not that great!

Sorry being economical with the truth. In reality wet but still fun.

Make me jealous

Every night I sleep in a warm bed with a hot woman.
Occasionally, I shag your bird for a laugh.

Stay safe, come home in one piece ๐Ÿ˜‰
