could be quite an expensive weekend by the time you've filled up with fuel though

Good first day under our belts, got some severe achage and some of us have some battle scars.... hoppy. Did the MBR trail at Coed y Brenin, not sure how to pronounce where that is but i can assure you that there were more sheep than people in the vacinity! 25k of some of the most ridiculous inclines and downhill sections, well worth the visit. Highlight of the day was the Bacon, Sausage and Egg butty at an organic farm shop before we started... could have called it a day there and we'd still have had a good day!

Just off for a curry now so might have to refridgerate the saddle for the morning to ease the burn :o

The weekend was fully awesome, those who didn't attend really did miss out. Saturday was very damp but very technical riding, Sunday was more man made trails but we managed to safely negotiate the red run with all the exciting elements of the black runs. Fully cool!

We'll be organising another session soon, possibly with some camping involved to make a real weekend of it.

Was a brilliant weekend, even if it was slightly damp.
