Getting a Grip

Sunday was rainy to start, but cleared up soon enough to throw the tools in a bag and jump on the big bike. After hauling a pick, spade, fork and rake (awkwardly) to the woods, I managed to scout and map out the whole area, giving us some sort of bearing while we work out where to dig.

Later on finally getting round to ordering some bike gear means I'll get what I need to go for a proper DH ride soon enough.

The pic is just before I took a run down the main track through the wood. It brought back the feeling of running through a trail in my head and anticipation of speed and split second reaction, that I missed so much on a bike.
