Any one else enjoy some dust this weekend?

Myself and a couple of mates booked uplift at inners and it was HOTHOTHOT! Not baking sunny of course (this is inners we are atlking about), but dry and dusty, and hot as hades gooch!
Whenever I see an adult on a bicycle, I believe in the future of the human race.

    Bizarrely, YES!
    In Coed y Brenin. Massive downpour on Saturday, but on Sunday, some of the sections were nice and dusty, and... Even better, some of them were that perfect "tacky", giving loads of grip.
    I had one of those awesome dream-like rides where you get away with going far faster than you really should, and everything was flowing perfectly.
    Amazing ride.

    (I should probably add that some sections were basically like riding down a stream, but stil...)

    Not really dusty but did 'Tha Gap' Saturday and what started as horrid day got better as the day went on by mid afternoon lovely sunshine making the 2hour journey there all worth it.

    was hoping for some dry dusty trails whilst in the borders last week. Did some epic natural riding in the Cheviots which were mainly dry but got well and truly soaked around Newcastleton and Kielder on Friday! All good fun though.

    Sounds like I should have hung around on Saturday and gone to inners :cry:

    Should have been at Inners when the IXS was on, for a few weeks before as well, the dust was inches thick :D

    Building was amazing and so was riding, even if it was a little hot and sweaty, it just made everything a good laugh

    What is this "dust" substance you speak of? Would you be interested in trading some of this "dust" for some Cumbrian mud?!

    I was caked in the bloody stuff on Satuday- t'was great!
