Well we got there in good time, about 10:00 ish.
My bike was ready to go, my mates bike was another story. He had failed to heed my instructions and pick up some spare brake pads as his were getting low. 28 quid later he had front pads fitted and half of a back pad, but one of the pistons is a bit sticky and not wanting to break something used the best of the four old pads – the only one with any material left on it.
By the time I had fannied around gettig the pads in it was 11:30.
We managed in the end to do the red loop with a couple of other bits thrown in. Feeling the pain today, and quite scary how much my fitness has dropped in the last few months.
Quite amazed by some of the fast old men getting their knees down in the corners.
Gae the wormhole a go as well. Took two attempts to get through the first bit cleanly. My mate managed to stave his toe and turn it black – bloody pansy, but I have it on video.
Will have to get back more often, the folks only live an hour away from me.
They also have the Elisdons (sp) out the back of their house for some more adventuring
