21st January 2007
Mt. Biking: Afan Forest Whites Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Max Speed: Distance Covered:
A trip round whites trail, orignal plan was todo the Skyline but the others
had a few too many beers the night before plus a bit of a late start.
We kept a good pace up the first club while we were moving but with a few
stops to admire the views (not to stop for a rest honest)
There was another change of plan when the black route was closed due to a
fallen tree. As ive ridden whites a couple of times now Im getting to know
it now so could really give it some on the down hill bits at times it was
quite a wait for the others to catch up!
I still have the standard moment on the one corner of the north shore
section don't know what it is with that corner but I nearly came off on it
again!
On the last section I was going for air over the rocky sections rather than
just dropping the front wheel over knowing roughly whats coming next makes
things so much easier. Things started getting a bit sketchy when I managed
to get a puncture in my front wheel it was a bit late in the trail to stop
to fix it so just pumped it up and went faster to get back before it went
flat again.
A great ride but will hopefuly get round to doing the skyline oneday!
The others had a great day their first taste of man made mountain bike
trails
