Pics from Wales 2 weekends ago
Who Dan (Dan the Man) Gary (Big GT) Jon (Lefty) and Ray and Richie
After a late start due to some mechanicals we are off. Only a few mins into the climb and already some serious height has been gained.
  
  
  
MMMM Sarnies. We all stop at the top of the Whites Level Black run to strap on the armour and fuel up with grub
 
 
Sweet berms at the back end of the super rocky black run
Ouch GT gets wedged in some thorns in the North Shore section
  
We nail the 6km Skyline descent after doing the Whites Level climb for the second time 3500ft up and 3500ft down all in one afternoon.
  
Back at the lookout cafe for some post ride beers.
Our awsome cottage... with views out over the river valley.
 
 
Roll on day 2
Ready to start the technical stuff after a long fire road climb. Dan stacks hard just after these photos in an area called Desolation but is soon back on the bike. Has to do an A&E trip that night to sort himself out however.
  
 
Just about to enter a section called the hidden valley. Probably one of the best sections of techincal riding I have ever come across. A real treat.
 
 
An excellent weekend away - great trails, perfect weather, good fun.
Thanks guys. |

Great pics, Jon!
It does seem that I am grimacing (if not just looking exhausted!) in most pictures that I appear in! 
I did enjoy it, REALLY!!

Yeah, tights are the way! No snags, no wind resistant sail like material! No problems!
Yo dudes! When are we planning our next trip to WALES! Having withdrawal symptoms!
Crazy RAI! |
