Rode Laggan Wolftrax yesterday in freezing & wet conditions. When I say rode, spent the time chasing two ‘locals’ (although more regulars than locals) round. The effort involved in that, the icy conditions, the thrill of new trails, the sweet Yeti ASR-5, the chat between climbs & descents, the sunshine on the last run of the day… feeling all gooey and emotional today. Awesome day *wells up*

It’s a very good feeling isn’t it.

It were a top day for sure.

I have been thinking about hardtails again. Not sure the Mojo appreciated the conditions – it is crying some sort of weird orange tears all over the moving bits…

(*is looking at a PA from Mike* <Collins doesn’t stand a chance now!

Certainly a change from the wet and boggy Pentlands.

I’d have added that you’re welcome to come out here and chase me around but I know how jealous Andy gets 😉

Not had that feeling for about 18 months…I need to sort my shit out I think!

I think I’ve damaged myself- our adventure was quite something but my feet and right thumb are very sensitive, sore and tingly, even a full 24 hours on from finishing.

Awesome scenery though, I’ll deal with photos soon.

Here’s a link to them forks by the way Jimmy. No pics, but they’re in good condition as he’s trailcentremincecore and rides his bike once a month…

I know he’s not sold them to shaley on there so they are, as far as I know, still going.

Luke – stuck on what to do. Would prefer U-turns, maybe 20mm, maybe not at all.

Garrrgh decisions. I’m shit at them.

Jimmy – you suck.

That is all 🙂

Bosh. Snow.

Righto Downie, next time you on the Soda, me on the Mojo. And then you can blame the bike 🙂

OOh a throwdown is it? Nice.

As usual this sadly is not a problem that can be solved by hardware.

fancy a few rides to knock me into shape? You can be like my PT or something and beast me.

Sweet, we can do a deal as I need to learn how to ride a bike that’s not a feather.

Sorted then.

We will set a date.
