Wonderful blast around the forest with Jon and Kev. We made good progress on the climbs and BIG smiles (as usual) on the descents - met the girls walking up Charity Lane again, think we need to either wait at the top or get down to the bottom earlier as we keep meeting them on the steep rough section which leads to a heart in mouth moment and hanging on hoping that you can hold your line and your nerve...
The buzz of riding is pretty much the best feeling in the world - and the buzz and zip of tyres through dusty trails add a physical and auditory sensation to the whole experience.
What better than some real ales for post-ride too!
