Sorry for the late reply.
This is the plan. meet at 6 at the Crown pub. Got some nice stuff lined up, with 3 managable climbs mixed in buit finishs on a cracking descent.
Need to know who is going though to make sure we dont leave anyone behind.

yar you know i ant been riding long but i did ride for about 5 weeks before i desided pads may be a good idea. was not sure about them as i had not had a off and did not wont to thinkg "now i got pads no way will i get hurt" but i have never had very good nees so i desides they look cool and may help me a little so go for it.

I popped up BM last night, I must say, who ever has put the time and hardwork into building those runs, give yourselves a pat on the back.

I enjoyed the ride, and was suprised by the routes. A few were a suprising i.e. a few large jumps!

I cant make it tonight, but i may pop up in the future. I bet you could get some great pictures up there though. And the road ride back up the hill toward BM at the end, wasn't as bad as it looks.

cwmboyo

Did carn again today and although I only shaved a few minutes off my last poor show I didn't have any big offs! Woo Hoo. Although there were a few hairy moments on the last section

Slowly gearing up to a ride with you guys so I might meet some of you soon

I rode through Wyllie on my way home last night, after riding BM. I didnt do the final descent into Ynysddu, and instead rode a path upwards towards Wyllie, and then home.
