Just though I'd post, went up the Dragon/Mountain Ash DH for a walk today. The WDMBA has been up there and done a fair bit of work to the track. Where the shore section was (and later removed) well, basically a lot of the bottom section. All change. Some real nice big kickers up there, and new lines with berms and switchbacks into what is a fair size double.

Can't wait to ride it!!! Be silly of me to go up there on my own and hit those things, waiting for anyone to ride it. James, if your bored Thursday????!

Shit day in work, followed by a shit night!

Wanted to go out on the bike, but had a few things to clear up. (Anyone know anyone who works in VW or the Parts dept? Need a few things!!)

Plus I keep forgetting to pop to halfords for some tubing, I think i have some air in the brake lines, so have squashy brakes, been doing a little reading and back blleding seems to be the best way forward, but i keep forgeting the tubing, and i'm a little reluctant to do it myself!

Grrrrrr

JVN. How are you. Passed you on the by pass the other day. You must be getting the miles in. Hope you are enjoying the new job.
Maybe you could make it one evening.
Darren those vids are well tidy.
Leftthe car parked up on Monday in the sun. Got in it in the evening, gee it was rank. It just stinks of those puddles. Need a valet now, but was worth it.

Anyone out tomorrow. Fancy Bryn Meadows. TOM will meet at the Golf club entrance. Ben do you fancy that, near to work for you.

yeah nice ride and good to see you all again after north Wales weekend which now seems like an age away (well I suppose we have had summer and autumn since then!) I can't believe how dirty you can get just doing a lap of cc in the summer :-( mind you I don't like puddles me..

About 5:30/5:45ish would be best for me, as I need to get changed etc in work. Stuff is currently on a spin so really hoping it'll be dry lol! Will keep you updated!

Alright Jame - that DH sounds a good laugh - if not a little 'big' :shock: will be well worth a look though. Yea prob not the best idea to go up on your own given the chance of an off. Thursday... I'll let you know tomorrow mate but I may be tied up (the mrs is in to that sort of thing you see).

Sorry fellas won't be out tomorrow as I've already made plans of the non mtb variety (berserk I know)

Tom - I see you're playing the oneupmanship on the facepalm pics

Have a good ride tomorrow lads, I'm trial running the Taff Trail 55 mile thingy on Sunday from Brecon with a few of the boys from work so I'll see you next week in all likelihood
