@Rubber_Buccaneer fewer rare butterflies too!
Managed to do a turtle impression in the car park and had to be saved by a kind stranger who I think was riding up with his son all day. Unfortunately, I also managed to pop my shoulder in that stack. Put me on the back foot all day.
Rode the blues, a few reds (A470 squashing almost all the jumps, Vicious Valley, Bonneyville – walked most of the switchbacks 🙁 ) and some black sections.
Will definitely be back soon! And this time with a bit more skill and fitness, and definitely an uplift pass! If I had my own car I’d have taken both helmets, rode the blues and reds in the morning to get my eye in and then moved to the blacks in the afternoon with the FF on.
Incredible weather and a great day out!
