Well it was just Davy-G and myself today, but a great ride and luckily for us the sun did come out part of the way around. Davy was giving some good guidance, especially when it comes to trying to do step downs and wee jumps. I had been pulling the handlebars up, but he said to push them like a supermarket trolley. Well this was just revolutionary for me, and from the Big Burn Splash onwards Ae pretty much transformed, well on the little jumpy bits anyway and also on the berms too.

We also met a chap Scott part of the way around, so he joined us for the rest of the ride. I seemed to have a really off day trying to photo Davy, but got one or two good photos I feel.

Rest of the pics here if interested:

Oh and given how few of us there were, it meant that there was an inordinately large amount of Davy’s freshly made (by himself) carrot cake. Delish.
