Had a mint day yesterday!! Started at Temple Newsam my heart sank as I drove into the car park and saw all the hardcore still in the carpark!! Another day moving stuff miles and not getting much done!! Shouldnt have worried we soon moved enough hardcore to finish a few berms and started surfacing the top half of the track which seemed to take no time at all!! It not finished but its starting to look that way!! A few of us had a quick blast on the top section and was great to realise it was all paying off as the track flowed well and was fast as feck!!
After the dig we bobbed to supermarket and picked up some grub for a BBQ at Adel (dont rub it in I'm still pissed but its fixed now!!). For some daft reason I decide to play on the trails rather than warm up on DH!! Not only that I stupidly made my way straight to the main line!! Wasnt the mistake it could have been and made the first three smooth as you like (or I'm able) first time I did it I didn't realise what I'd done. Time I stopped!! I was gobsmacked and so where a few others!! But the less mentioned about me nose bumping the second the better!! Then it was time for a few burgers!! Played on iccle trails 6-8 pack then ended the day playing on the DH till we couldnt see anymore (I was pedaling and everything) was so fast I'm loving my new tyres!!
All in all it was a great day out everyone had a blast chilled out had a laugh had a few scarey moments and improved all round!! Gread day, hope we have loads more of them!!
Oh and I ache today!!! Ouch!!

Got to agree there.
Had a great dig at temple, after that and a while at Adel just sitting watching fire and everyone else ride I decided to don the pads and have a play, am still nervous me thinks but got going and really enjoyed myself on the line with the drops in (I can do them sorta) shame the day had to end as I was so pumped up I wanted to play more... anyway day ended at about 1 am when the adrenalin subsided and a sick feelin came... yum!
Gonna play tonight too, i hope

What a weekend! firstly hamsterley was a good laugh although my crash on the second run wasn't. It was good to ride somewhere completley different.
Then Tempsy on sunday, finally managed to finish all the major building work and the first layer of surface. Which gaves us the green light for some test riding, must say thanks to Chilli's girlfriend for providing us with some stella's ;D

Dito had a blast at Hamsters didnt enjoy my first couple of runs as didnt have a clue where I was going settled and got my clips out and started having a laugh!! Still dont like the table and the road jump!!
Was great to finally ride TN it still needs a little work tweek here and there and another coat or two of surface etc but will be a much fun track!!

Ah yes, was really good fun learning to taking your fingers off the brakes and trust your tyres in the turns. It took a few goes to get over the feeling of not covering your brakes, but it makes loads of difference to your cornering speed.....
knacker, have you managed to pick up the book yet??

Had a good sesh at Carv on Sat I wasnt supposed to be out had a ton of stuff to do but Nick twisted my arm and its near where I had to go to get stuff done!! We sectioned parts of the hill Nick was going super smooth, Ell was his usual self, Mike was flyng he has the power (needs it on that rig), Rob was struggling without berms but soon settled!! And I crashed and bounced off trees and spent half the day sideways!! Learned alot my ankles are purple and my wrist hurt like hell on Sunday!! That and I knacked my new rear mech (hatted it anyway!!) Fell like im starting to ride my bike half way decent again but having a right laugh into the bargin I may even get quickish again before long!!
Oh and Ell got some pics!!
