Did the loop today, from the dog n partridge, great having a nice bit of grub post ride

Set off at 9 in the rain, only saw 2 other riders until the last bit when we had a look at the new skills section.
Its running nice, even in the wet its so grippy. Had a look at the slab, seeing as had no knee pads etc. decided against it, thats my excuse anyway....
Did hully gully twice, love it.

Have a good day tomorrow guys

Bumped into Ed oxley, think im going to have to try one of his courses, fancy the jumps for dads.

chemicalviking

joepineapples

yeah dude thats still the plan
