First proper ride of the year and it was a bit wet n windy!!!!!!
Decided on Cwmcarn as the local trails would be 6feet under water.
Only 2 of us today but I'm glad I got out.
Very hard on the climbs .... I also managed to get the chain stuck between a ring and the chainstay .... took a while to sort out but my lungs were glad of the rest.
Missed out the freeride area as the wind was a bit harsh. The xc route is a goodun anyway so no probs.
The last descent was a bit tricky as the shimano mechanical discs decided they had had enough and wouldn't work ... made for an exiting couple of switchbacks anyway.
Back in the carpark (which was packed with other mad mtbers!!) and it felt good ;0)
Need to order some pads now!
