I only saw smiles on the day, they were weary but they were smiling.
From what I saw of the loop it looked like perfect traction, I gave up walking it after the batteries went flat. Guys seemed to be coming back clean from the loop suggesting that despite the rain there were no mud puddles out there. Judging by the bikes that came back from the forest loop they successfully found some mud puddles
Many thanks all the helpers, most of all to our host Peter who did most of the set up of the loop, also to Barbara who did a magnificent job with sign up as did Steve with the catering.
Many riders struggled to negotiate the table top, with Barbara at the helm there was no negotiating, everyone had to pay their entry fee.
The step up nearly bought a few undone, you had to land on the downramp correctly or you risked a face plant. Jerry bought along a 'minder' to help him with the difficult sections, I think his minder had to help him swing a leg over his bike as well
When are clubs going to look after the riders properly and get rid of these dangerous sections.
Some of these guys are to old to be doing things like these step ups.
No, I'm serious, my calves were as sore as hell that night from all the times I went in and out of that bloody Van
I would have been less fatigued if I had ridden
