Oooh.. have they changed the Weirwolf since the weekend before last then? It didn't look like that last Sunday!

Bugger... I wasn't having a good day then and promised myself I'd be back to ride it later in the year... and now it's been tamed...

Good photos! Looks a loooooooot of fun. Must get up there. That Weirwolf doesn't look too fierce or am I missing something?

Good to see Bikekitten out on two wheels 😉

Going up there on Thursday 😀

What is the dilly with that drop though? Doesn't look particularly fearsome - did it used to be steeper? On fire? Lined with spikes?

It used to be a drop.

Was going to go today but I had a dream last night which featured my recently deceased mother telling me not to go for a bike ride which left me a bit freaked out, to be honest. And I only remembered the dream *after* deciding not to go and clear the shed instead. Damn you unconscious mind!!

The drop did not have much of a run off and there is a sharp right before and after, but its obviously claimed a fair few victims .Its a simple roll down now and should not cause anymore problems.
