Just got in and I'm knackered but it was well worth it, what a superb day.
the trails were wet and muddy but it didn't rain all day.
done 5 dh runs, bit of everything thrown in, drops, jumps and the poxy roots. the conditions played with my mind so held back a bit (didn't wanna come off) but for my first proper dh I'm quite pleased. can't wait to go back when its dry.
found a lovely bit of single track so done that a few times and had a play on the jumps.
big respect to the other guys though for smashing those dh runs, excellent riding to get down them that quick in those conditions.
all in all a wicked day had by all i think.

Brilliant day!

Shame I just ran out of energy by like 3 o'clock, don't think i'll be going that side of the country again without staying over the night before, can't deal with the 4am start :(

Can't wait to see the Go Pro footage!
