Got away with Friday 13th, but took for ever to get to the campsite - and it rained in biblical proportions.
Campsite owner had obviously had the worse day of his life, before we arrived... and boy did he let us know. The campsite was crap, half-built, but not in any particular order. I reckoned that he was ex-Old Bill.
Saturday dawned good, the weather stayed fine, no rain and we rode to the centre and did two loops (Temptiwr 10km and the Dragon's Back 30km), both 'reds'.
I especially liked the Adams Family set of trails - not sure if its 'Gomez' or 'Morticia' but I was the only one amongst ourselves and 3 others we'd met up with that managed to ride the steep rocky/rooty descent. There are times when you need the full six inches!
Unfortunately, for Bayf, he had a run-in with a banking (spread liberally with stones) trying to keep up :-), spraining his ankle - but he did finish the loop (probably 10km) and ride back to camp (another 3-4km)...
Pitched-up the next morning and came home, as although Garry was in no fit state to ride, we had him do breakfast and help pack.
Next day I get this 'in the post' - I just think he got a thin friend to pose with him!
