:D Just can,t praise it highly enough. 2 fantastic days riding on varied terrain, slippery bare rock to ruts, some glorious switch back climbs, and leg pumping descents river crossings ,glorious views ,and all lead by a local guy who new every byway back to front and inside out.What a super bloke , [D.R.] Dave deserves a medal .
Our group of 6 became 5 after about 1 mile ,when the DT200 shed its rear tyre :( he was able to join another group in the afternoon.
Another lad head butted a partially fallen tree, it didn,t shift so the rest of us ducked under it :lol: he joined a more laid back group the next day, so we were down to 4 plus the leader .
On the Sunday with just 5 of us we made great progress, except when we lost Cronyx up a lane, i found him the other side of a large bank in a steep sided wood ,turned out he had lost control and speared of into the woods unable to react in time :oops: still no harm done .The down side was i had to get his bike out of the woods somehow, fek those MK1s have low bars, what rise bars do you guys run on them :?: give us that A/R back now :D
still another great day of over a hundred mls , and using the corner drop off system we had completed our route by 3.30 so we were home by 7.30 ish .
Also managed to visit some places from my birth town ,Okehampton we walked up to Meldon Dam and discovered this leak.
