The most important thing in this picture is the ramp we had been allowed to build in school time on our school field.

Thanks a lot for that RD! I'm glad you enjoy the picture. Seeing that reminded me of a couple of things. Firstly I haven't been there for ages and should really get back there. Secondly I love this second picture taken on that trail on a different day. For context, this trail has a lot of exposure so by the time you get to this part you're pretty numb to it. On one side of that wall is a long wait for an air ambulance and on the other side is a nice body of water...

[img] [/img]

Edit, just to say that wasn't taken by me... I wasn't there that day!

Nice pic. Must get back to the basque
It's tr only place in the world were I've been told I can't fall off on a trail No matter for fear of death. Bring on the canal

Me 3yrs ago - one of the rare moments when I actually got it right!

[IMG] [/IMG]

Hey Orangeboy! Be good to have you back if you are who I think you are... and almost certainly even if you aren't! 🙂 There are a few "no fall zones" but not too many, or at least not where I generally take people!

So many favourites 🙂

Not much of a photo but to me it captures how I felt at the time. Felt stressed. Put bike on car. Rode around for a couple of hours. Came home feeling healed.

If we're talking ones we've taken then this is one of my favourites. Closing weekend last year @ Whistler Bike Park 🙁 Kind of bitter sweet especially as I know I won't get back there for ages.

Its probably my favourite Black Mountains route and I ride loads round there.

mrphil - Worlds End! Bet it was damp up there today?! Is that local to you? I live in Llangollen and that's one of my most ridden local loops.
