CWNCARN

Daryl_Cwmcarn



Absolutely amazing day out at Cwmcarn, yeaterday! Bit of a full-on mission, getting up at 6am, driving to Wales, doing the XC loop, a couple of runs round the Freeride bit at the top, a hike back up to the road drop on the downhill and riding up to the first tunnel on the DH twice! Then driving home and getting stuck in all the traffic from the Biker that was shot on the M40... Bloody worth it though! Sadly no photos as the camera is now officially deed. Great to get back on it after breaking my paw, but it felt ace, although I didn't punish it too much. Daryl didn't shut up all day about his DeeMax rims and new Lyric fork and having had some time out, I've replaced/serviced a hell of a lot of stuff on my frame, so it felt really smooth again. Always amazed with Chris' performance (speed mostley) on a hardtail, especially going down the slab garden on the DH course. We finished our last run absolutely beat and almost unable to hold our bars. Proper job. Bring on the lakes in a few weeks!
