What a great weekend ! Sun,riding,relaxing,pub,live music,staring at the stars,camping,more riding,a couple of cream teas and fantastic company both days made for a perfect two days. Far to many good moments to mention but hearing the girls scream their way down the good bits ranks high on the good moment list. If only it didnt have to end.(might not have been so good for Andy when he broke his bars although he went and got some new one and caught us up !)Comments ?

Yeah rub it in why don't you 😥 So upset that I couldn't make this but looks like you all have a fun time anyway. Reckon those trails would have been in great condition too.

Hey sharki - are you allowed to ride? Collar bone all sorted?

Guys - I will definitely be down again so if there's a midweek slackers ride going out, please let me know. I'll book some accommodation too. Thanks 🙂

sharki - wow, well done. Nobody likes being injured but it's such a fantastic feeling when you get back on the bike isn't it?

Carbon bars snapping - tell me more ...

What an amazing weekend! Only thing more perfect would have been if CG coulda made it as well.
My next weekend away doing anything has a LOT to live up to.
BiGGGGG thanks to Knottie and Sharki for being ace guides and such fun to spend the weekend with.
Knottie, fab pics as usual..... LOL at Ali elbowing me out of the way on the climb (what's that one called?!) and my gurning at cycling over the concrete block root........ looks so much bigger in real life....

I ? my weekend and the Qs.

Hey Mr K and Sharki!

Thank you both so much for an amazing weekend 🙂 and of course to Anna.

I am absolutely shattered to say the least, those climbs today have done me in well and truely!

The out of control episode has landed me a nice lumpy bruise by my ankle so that'll look nice when I wear my skirt to work 😆

I know I'll be back again real soon so make sure you're around!

Ali
xx

PS - great pics you two 😀
