He has spent all morning sending me texts about how its a perfect day for biking and he is off to session Bestwood (my Uni days stomping ground)
Im stuck in work having already had to cancel a day's holiday (was meant to be going Peaks today with a pro photographer) with no way to get out at all and meetings all day

it is a perfect day
it's likely to rain all weekend
this could be my last chance for a decent days riding before bairn pops their head out in couple of weeks or so
I just know I will get a load of bragging texts later on about how good it was, probably accompanied by video clips
and he's still on about Mavic UST rims over Stans and after struggling all last night with tyres, broken valves, knackered track pumps and CO2 cartridges before digging the old inner tubes back out Im pissed off still

I don't like him today!!

Its Friday, it's sunny and now Im in a bad mood

Cheeky little video

Two more are being uploaded at the moment, one of which is a walk through the site which shows loads of the routes/big jumps.

[iain1775]

I can remember when it was all just fields
Well woodland anyway
Used to ride there around 1993-97 before all the trails and jumps existed

I did chicken out on the last gap jump as was about 20ft and i was all alone up there. I would of been a long drag back to civilization should i of broken myself. Will do it when i am not on my own.

Next vid showing all the trails is this

Should be ready to watch in a few seconds

you would have been mugged and slaughtered by the local chavs well before you got back to 'civilisation' - there ain't nothing civil about that part of Nottingham
Pretty brave to go there on your own if you ask me

BTW were the vids on your Muvi? How come it displays at that square resolution on Vimeo?

[stackmeister]

I live about 20 minutes from those trails and had no idea they were there! I used to ride there back in the early 90's but it didn't look like that back then! Still off the bike but will be paying a visit up there when i'm back up to speed. Cheers Tex!

[Rufus]

That did look cool, Iain you should have gone, pull a sicky or something. We've still got a foot of snow here, can't wait for it to go!

[iain1775]

Ben
