Told you you'd like it - what bits did you do? Modern makes a lot of sense there.

i have just got home a few hours ago,

my trip was like this:-

friday, cannock chase riding 07 clockwork, trail is loads of fun
saturday, grizedale forest, riding 07 clockwork, wasn't impressed but i think it has potential
sunday, drumlanrig castle, riding 92 kona explosif, awesome technical rooty trails
monday, kirroughtree red route on a 08 strange (orange)st4 loads of fun!
tuesday, coed y brenin, short route including adams family downhills
wednesday, coed y brenin, 08 st4, mbr trail plus adams family trails and some other extras.

6 days of great riding, i decided to go south after tuesday because of the weather that was due to scotland, coed y brenin seemed a sensible choice as it was gonna be dry (ish) in the afternoon and i'd be getting there around 3pm after leaving dumfries at 1030am.

it has been a great week of riding and meeting some top people

i have done 1100miles driving in the van! :shock: the clothes/bikes/van can stay dirty till tomorrow afternoon when i drag my arse out of bed!!

my legs are aching now, today was hard, but strangely monday and tuesday i felt great on the bike, dare i say . . . fast? :shock:

here's a link to my facebook pics

hopefully that link will work

Sounds lie a killer week jonnyboy! What was yer best bit?

the banter on sunday! as usual, always funny.

best trail of the week i think was kirroughtree, even though there was a good amount of climbing it never seemed too hard yet there was some really nice flowing downhills.

will defo come up again for some more of the sevenstanes trails

Kirro is the bawz

What a rootfest!

Had a cracking day, big thanks to the mob in yellow, absolute top job of putting on an event, as well as a great ride. Kiran came back raving about as well, so full marks there too!

Apologies for bringing the big green beastie though, very naughty of me

I shall now assume my usual state of looking forward to the next time we can venture North Of The Border...

Golden Retrobike Rule #1:

'NEVER READ THE AFTERMATH THREAD OF A RIDE YOU COULDN'T GET TO'

Every intention to join you but as it coincided with a big wedding anniversary and a cottage in Cornwall arranged by herself I never stood a chance.

Next time... just don't make it August 14th.
