Mt. Biking: Pendam - Angler's Retreat Wind Direction: N/A Wind Stength: Calm Surf / Sea State: N/A Air Temperature: 3ÂșC Sea Temperature: N/A Weather: Clear Max Speed: 26 mph (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 16.5 miles (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
A lovely clear night with a crescent moon and loads of stars.
Met Myles early at Pendam and we did a quick circuit of the lake and then
Hippity hop and met Martyn in the car park. We then set off around the lake
again and then off towards Angler's Retreat. All at a nice steady pace, bit
too strenuous but no stopping and waiting either so we were able to have a
chat as we went.
Myles had a sketchy moment (or probably three sketchy moments in about 3
seconds) on a little (now deeply rutted) descent into a hollow on the
singletrack towards Nant-y-Moch.
Martyn then had a fairly spectacular off on the ice on the road around
Nant-y-Moch.
From there it was up towards Angler's Retreat and down the MXer trails
which have been resculptured by the forestry commission. Myles came off
again just before the rocky step! After this the big deep puddle has gone
and the trails have been re-surfaced so were a little loose but will
probably improve as they bed in.
We then headed back towards the Conti Trail and finished the figure of
eight and back towards Syfyddrin and the Hippity Hop.
It was a gorgeous night, really clear and on the return leg there was a
strange light in the sky, presumably a planet, but we weren't sure which
one.
