Mine was good. Uplift at caersws on saturday, i rode rubbish, but was feeling better nearer the end of the day. Had a couple of runs on an Empire AP-1 with 40s and full xtr/full team hope green brakes/hubs/stem/headset/clamps etc. Super nice, but £5k nice?

Today i also did an uplift at bucknell in the pi$$ing rain.

Bike got a little filthy, and so did i!

looked like this when i had taken it off the car..

Just got back fom  a weekend at brechfa.Managed Cwm Rhaeadr a couple of times on the friday,Raven trail + blue trail saturday,and the gorelech trail today Weather was crap but it didnt put us off the trails.Hardly anyone there(which is abit odd to me as they are some of the best man made trails about) .

Reasonably relaxed for me.
Official trailbuilding yesterday morning, which was followed by some sneaky uplift action on a couple brilliant trails I'd not ridden since the snow was here earlier in the year.
Today, had a nice chilled spin up a hill, and done some sneaky trailbuilding, before riding back down said hill

Sunday up at Thrunton in Northumberland, really wet and gritty, trying some new super steep trails.  Few offs on the wet roots, glad I padded up!
Last few rides up North until I emigrate to the south coast in a few weeks.

Had a great weekend.
Went to Mont Saint-Anne and rode for two days.
First day was only on the marked trails, then Sunday was exclusively on unmarked trails.
Rode the World Champs course Saturday which was fun, but the stuff on Sunday was way more fun and much more difficult. Tight, rocky, rooty to rock face roll downs all covered with wet leaves.
The Supreme held its own and loved every minute of it.

First jaunt this year north of the border to do Mabie, Kirro & Ae. Bloody wet especially round Kirroughtree but really enjoyed it.

Rode the Oroklini DH track in Cyprus on Saturday which is really nice, and met two polish guys sitting drinking beer on the peak of the "Mountain". Gave them a ride down in my 4x4 as they had walked up and asked them to take a few shots of me on the final jump of the course at the buttom of the track. One of these guys gets really worked up and asks me if he can try my bike and i didn't think much of it so i says yes and off he goes, but as it turns out he is going for the jump i was just riding, no helmet! No body amour and only wearing flipflops!!!!!!! And did he go down hard.... OOOOH YEAH  , bike went flying and so did he , luckily for him tho only minor scratches and my bike was fine but this was one crazy Polak.

I did my first enduro competition last weekend! It was three very technical short trails each rode twice. almost killed me but had a lot of fun. you can see the tracks here http://vimeo.com/15293148. vid not by me. i accidentaly booked myself in the 'pro' section and my time was really bad, but if I went to the 'hobby' series I would have bee 6th. I'm pretty proud taken account last week I was out with my bike first time in months! anyway it was a really nice experience and def gonna keep it up next summer!

Time of the year is the best for riding here now! hard to concentrate on anything else! beautiful!!!
