Rode ByC with Crumbs and Jim-the-40-year-old-get on the way down to the latter's birthday weekender in North Wales. It was fantastic fun (when is it not?). The weather was great again and the trails were decidedly dusty. I was on the mighty Redline and it was lovin' it big style. Crumbs (who was dressed in a very distressing Flinstones-esque sleeveless jersey) had an encouraging epiphany halfway round: "I'd forgotten how much fun this is!". Maybe he'll get out a bit more from now on, eh? I presented Jim with his birthday present (ultra top secret hidden downhill trail in the forest) and he proceeded to exercise a whole heap of Cotical Madness upon it - extra nose-manual points were awarded to him for his completion of the big drop. It was so frighteningly executed that Crumbs bailed it! (his SID's probably would've snapped anyway) Jim had to depart at the bottom (to kickstart that night's party activities) but me and Crumbs just had to go back up the hill and sample the official way down as well. It was still great fun (I still much prefer the secret way though) and Crumbs made an extra attempt to further entertain me by crashing on a jump at the very last corner and diving headfirst into a large group a brambles that left him with an unfeasibly large amount of scratches all over his arms, legs and face! Manmade trails are ace. So there.
