haha, lovely bit of prose that sladey

Those vids are great- keep 'em coming. They gave me the confidence to try and tackle Cwmcarn and am now eyeing up Brechfa as well. Wouldn't mind going on an evenin ride after work if there are other Cardiff based folk, but I am seriously, seriously slow and unfit (to put this into context I was elated to get round Cwmcarn in two hours last weekend and that was quite some effort).

Squarepants

no worries clamps we're all different fitness levels and everyone waits for us all to catch up (normally me doing the catching up) no ego's in the group so we've got a good mix

I'm in Thornhill and Ben (Northern Monkey) is based in Cardiff too, we'll sort something soon. 2 hours isn't that bad and it'll get better every time you ride

Notax and I are planning to ride Cwmcarn on Sunday, so maybe see some of you there (and say hello if you see us 8) )! It's a bit of a drive for us, so we'll probably do a few laps of the xc trail then *possibly* my first feeble attempt at the DH trail :shock:
