south wales Rides?

personally i dont think cwmcarn will be rideable but would love to be proved wrong

Squarepants

I'd love to prove you wrong but... given the amount of snow still in Cardiff shirley Cwncarn will be still heaving with the stuff?

Anyone got any facts about the state of it? Is there anyone ti call at the centre itself tomorrow for an status check?

Squarepants

Well, did anyone ride there today?

:? not for me today it wasn't, don't know what the other lads used but I'm guessing it was along the lines of



(worn Maxxis Ignitors obviously don't do well in snow/ice)

I was up afan today managed whites, actually not to bad only problem was the goodwood section had a lot of water on the trail. there were also a few mud slides on and a fallen tree (which caused my first off in 10mths) but an enjoyable day and alot of others there too.

Look forward to it (always nice to se others misfortune )

You're obviously far superior in both hardware and tecnique

To be far, Afan sounds fannytastic.. I'm beginning to think I'm missing out

Ask in the shop and they should be able to advise. The times I've been there I've gone out with a couple of local lads from the Skyline Club, and they've taken us all over.

have a good time mate, i was in the swimming pool christmas day - it was 25 degrees

you need to upload your pics to an image site, i use www.pinkbike.com as it's a bike related site. simply upload your pics there, copy the address in properties, paste it here the highlight it and press the 'img' button

hey presto, you should have a pic

Squarepants

Well I'm going back up tomorrow, I've had my High Rollers delivered and waiting at local PO, will fit in the morning and hopefully get up there about half 10, 11 again.

Apparently it's much better today, lets hope so!
