Greetings!

I will be doing a couple of fast laps around the Dam early on Saturday morning. If anyone else wanted the hit out, please come along. My intended riding speed will be fairly fast, but with most of the typical stops along the way for a drink. And maybe a small bit of playtime on the bumpy bits. Given this, the ride would probably not be suitable for newbies.

If you don't recognise me, I will be the one in the blue Mazda2.

See you there.

Who's in:

Little-Ditty, christine, GeordieAndy, Andy Bloot, Mr Lights, Squidly Didly, Damo, ScottM, Skrikvirniks, lorrie, Heckler, lozza6, garyinoz, Greg P (14 riders)

I've beend avoiding the dam and sticking to fire trails since upgrading to cleats. I've got to face it some time so I don't mind providing the entertainment as long as someone doesn't mind picking me up!!!

I am happy to stop and peel you off the ground if need be. Just make sure you always ride within your limits. Well, maybe just a little bit more.

Interestingly, my experience is that I am fine being clipped in on techncial down hill sections of the trail. It is the techncial riding up the way that I find an eye opener.

for sure!

Bring some elbow pads and go for it!

You'll actually enjoy all the rough sections clipped in as you'll have that planted foot-to-pedal feeling which is fantastic!

There's a thought! Anybody got a spare set they can lend me seeing as I won't make it to the shop before hand.
As for the comment from Little-ditty, it's only the loose uphill sections that have so far been my downfall, so to speak!
Cheers
