we didn't leave to ride till nearly 11, sorry to have missed you, bearing in mind how long our first loop took because of all the talking i'm surprised you didn't find us!

Bombing down St Andrew's Lane - the top part is very rooty and rutted - hit an off camber, left-hander, and went down quite heavily. The bars went around and there was a very loud 'crack' sound.
Dusted my self off and realised that the left side of the bars were lower than the right - the carbon had cracked around where the centre-bulge joins the stem. Luckily they have aluminium reinforcement in that area, so they were still in one piece - sort of.
I did the rest of the downhill (about a mile) one-handed
well, holding the left side very gingerly.

Well, I made it there - just without a bike. - Cheers for Jonnyboy666 (& someone else...can't remember who) for the offer of using their spare bike...
Could have knocked up a uni-cycle from maksters forks, a spare wheel & seat I suppose.
Good to meet everyone, a few familiar faces too... Proper gutted I missed out on the ride - but I'll have a working bike next time round, maybe even two!
Pics look great though, the weather was awesome too. Looking forward to the next one.
What did you guys think of Haldon Forest then??
