Loaded the bike onto the pick up and of I went to wales. Joining me was Paul from the devon trf and garry from this here forum! (he has a blue ttr) and is crazy
Now we were not going to try to win it this year, just enjoy the event and do as many lanes as possible
So we set of a bit worse for wear on Saturday morning
It all worked out really well, many a great lane to be had and a great laugh on our way around.
Sarn Helen was first( took a dab on that, pi**ed me off) was as good as usual and the bolder lane after that one is something special! We carried on doing loads of lanes real mix of rock and more rock not much mud around, although it was raining on both days,. Had lunch in llandovery, very nice too Lot's of trail riders around
Then a bit of road work to have a play in Brechfa Forest and had a great laugh in there! We found some mud
Me and Garry had a TTR water race
Think the blue ttr won
After a stop to dry off we headed out to our last lane it is at Ynys-brechfa....... Now I have done a few hard lanes twitchen, ruggadon, snapper, simms, sarn Helen, devil steps, now this lane made them look easy
I have never been down a descent so steep with so many hair pins and with so many boulders Imagine fingle bridge (rocky devon lane)on steroids and you get the idea! We were doing well and all three of us had nearly got down it clean, when I had my first off that day on the penultimate hair pin bend and I was glad of the rest
Now normally I would have gone up it, but we were all cream crackered by then and have vowed to go back and ride up it next year
Not sure where we came, will post up results when I have them
Very good event, with very good company and lots of beer ACE!
On Sunday we were split into groups and taken out for a ride by the local lads
On our ride out a tenere decided to pack up at the bottom of a steep lane I went down to see what was going on and ended up towing him up! Think he was more than surprised at what a TTR can do And a bit embarrassed my little bike could pull he's out He took back all that he said and lucky he did or I would have left him there Might be able to get some video footage
Here's a Piccy
Hope you enjoyed my report, as much as I enjoyed the event
