Just about to set off for Stainburn. Never been before but heard it's pretty hard both up and down.

I'm riding my local trail today (only 10 miles from my house ) and tomorrow riding in the forest of dean/monmouth area at a place that has to remain unnamed due to being on private land ( just round the corner from Dirt 1:04 track)

So I didn't crash,but my sodding cassette lockring came loose and cut the ride short  Couldn't figure out why my indexing suddenly went weird and upon closer inspection the sprockets were all over the place.Had to spin home on the 4th biggest and that was touch and go. Oh well,will try again on Tuesday..

Got back in one piece. That was one of the best rides I have ever done. Short, sweet, technical, fast uphill, downhill, dropoff's, pop off's, brilliant. Credit to the volunteers who built it. Can't remember laughing soo much on my bike whilst trying to concentrate on where I'm going. Class  Damo
