Llandegla la la la la la...

Well it's a few days ago now but Jon and I visited Llandegla on Saturday for a morning ride. It's always strange visiting the trail centre near Wrexham. ALWAYS busy but it holds some strange memories as the first time we visited it had only been open a couple of weeks and we were NOT impressed... but how things have changes and like a fine wine it has matured and improved with age.


This time we found a few 'new bits' and rode a section described as Dirt Jumps - over in the black singletrack. Great fun but why is it so far from the car! Perhaps they need a second car park!

Anyway we had a great ride, until Jon was riding along fire road between singletrack sections when we heard an all mighty crack and his seat post snapped!!! An ancient Orange one that came with his Subzero many years ago - luckily the snapped bit could be removed and although it was too low to ride up hills he got around with no arse injuries.


So what's up next... I wondered maybe Gwydwr for old times sake?
