Despite early protests from Jazz about being saddle sore we made it to the top in good condition, it seemed a lot easier than yesterdays slog over at the witches trail.
The run itself was good, it seemed a bit more technical than the runs we did yesterday. All single track with lots of obstacles to negotiate and a few big rock slabs to tackle if you are feeling brave enough (we weren't!). It took me the first few obstacles before I remembered I wasn't on a bouncy downhill bike like yesterday so I might have to concentrate on where I was going a little more. The course all had a liberal coating of mud and water as well which makes it all feel like real mountain biking. The last 240 meters of the route follows boardwalk laid through the woods and leads on to the lower section of the fun park which you can take as slow or fast as you like for an exciting finish. Great fun again and I'll definitely be back. I could get into this mountain biking lark!
Oh, my brother has asked me if I can point out that a pink helmet and gardening gloves are not his usual biking gear, he usually looks a lot cooler.
