nice yeeha... who were they?

Sian and Dafydd, who kick started the whole "trail centres" thing.
Lovely people, really friendly, properly down to earth, and they even remember the old faces from years gone past.
Absolute legends - and in a ture, literal, "they WILL go down in history as legends" sense of the word.

They're the ones who set up, opened, and ran Coed y Brenin - the first of it's kind.

Sian is great too, she's just one of those bubbly, friendly, giggly people that you cannot help but like - I've seen her occasionally around Betws y Coed, and she always comes and says hello, even though I don't think they ever actually knew my name, they just remember my face from the early days!
Dafydd, he's a great bloke, really friendly and enthusiastic. It was great to see him again, since I reckon the last time was in around 2001 or so :shock:

They're one of the reasons I REALLY got into mountain biking all those years ago, and frankly without them popularising the sport, most of the people on here would not even know what a mountain bike is.

he even told me to watch out for a section of trail which was notorious for throwing people over the bars..and when i got there guess what...i got thrown over the bars

and i snapped the clamp on my seat post on teh same trip and he fixed it for me for free...great people 8)

Ouch well that was good. One stray puck did catch me on the inside of my arm which should bruise nicely (pics tomorrow) but all in, a good training debut.
