MTB Spin Friday 20th 6pm lower carpark

[Gazpw]

Rudolf asked me to post this up for anyone who's up for a steady spin, meeting at lower carpark for 6pm.

I'm aiming to be there, barring natural disasters and 3 kids.
I'd say the more open single track will be a natural disaster this evening after all the rain!

[Gazpw]

I'll be up but i'll be on the DH bike, gonna try do a bit of a video of the track, if anyone fancys heading up for a bit of a spin on the DH bike your more than welcome, i'll be there from 5 onwards.

Well that was good craic, just myself and Rudolf, got some video of the track (will post when sorted) and a few pics, Rudolf got a taste of the 'flat pedals with big pins v's shin' battle too, very sore.

Now i am the one who can say OUCHH!. went for a spin to the top of the wind mills and back down the single track. then some videoing of gary flying down the track. I had a go on the "easy rider" bike myself. the peadals are not the problem its those grippy pins that do the damage. everyone should have a go at that bike ( if thats ok gary) the grip and stability is great. after todays blood bath I propose to call Garys DH track "Gladiator Run! " see you all next friday

[Gazpw]

Wait till you see the video, if i can ever get it sorted , anyone is welcome to have a go on the DH bike, we'll arrange a day/evening and have a laugh

Here you go, bit jumpy and out of focus in places but not too bad
