well i have at last rode the black route & loved it ,not that the day didnt go without incident .started the course well ,enjoying the burms & jumps,got to the high wooden bridge/walk way half way around, my mate rode
off the side (12ft+ off the ground )landing badly.
after a long rest we rode on for about a mile when his frame snapped clean off at the headtube.what had been a great start to a ride turned out to be a disaster,but even after all this we both will be back soon to ride what was a great course.just hope my next day on the water isnt as eventful !!!!!!!



Good effort!!! That wooden bridge is a little disconcerting isn't it! I rode it for the first time on Saturday and must admit I was a little worried on the way up it as it looked as though it would just be a sheer drop off the end!

Hope no one was too injured and I guess its a good excuse for a nice new bike!

I still remember my first time riding that bit of trail I thought there was going to be a drop at the end as well.

yes ,my mate is ok but still telling all he meets he is superman, must give it to him, that was a big drop.
we are in the process of looking for a new frame for him so we can get back to llandegla and compleate what was a great course.
