Shin bang, and a bruised/cut bum cheek was a small price to pay for the amazing day skiing in the waist deep powder that we had today!

First run off the day me and Josh hit the biggest drop either of us have ever done.. here is two photos, one from take-off and one from the landing.

Not sure exactly how big it was but it sure was fun!

I rather nice day in the office…..Heres a little sneaky line I found in the afternoon.

Gethin ” Man this pushing up hills is harder than……umm “
Me ” Than riding downhill? “
Gethin ” Haha, urr yeah

Quote of the week goes to Tom Gethin, whilst out riding some muddy wet singletrack, having a ball.  Riding fast downhill and pushing up most the short steep hills because…..well we just prefer the downhill.

Monday aches…..

Had loads of fun racing at Caersws this weekend.  I decided for a bit of fun to enter both catergories, Senior and hardtail. Lovely weather, a good hill and a pretty fun track made for a nice weekend.

Second place in hardtail was all I could manage. After all the race runs I had to do I could hardly hold the bars, followed a crash in Senior which held me back about 9 seconds of 1st place.

So Nothing amazing. But hellish good fun!
