Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
The Dyfi Enduro 2011 came around quicker than expected but the day dawned cool, windy but most importantly dry as a bone and it had been that way for weeks. The trails were set to be fast, dry and dusty and all looked set for an amazing day. I gave Jon a lift to Machynlleth...
We did our customary pre-ride around the Dyfi Enduro course yesterday in what can only be described as perfect conditions. Warm, sunny and without any significant rain for a while the trails were in the main dry and dusty. Riders were thin on the ground, probably because it was Easter Sunday, but Dave, Dave, Simon,...
Just over a week to go now until the Dyfi Enduro 2011 so we were once again checking out some of the trails on our evening ride last night. This time we started at the northern end of the forest to ride some of the trails we rarely ride. Dave Reed couldn’t make it so...
Amazingly it’s only a couple of weeks until the dreaded Dyfi Enduro, an enduro style mountain bike race in the Dyfi Forest. I’m supposed to be doing it, along with many of the other local mountain bike riders, but after last night recce of some of the trails, I’ve decided that neither me or my...
I haven’t been out on my Mountain Bike much lately, but with only 3 weeks until the Dyfi Enduro I thought it was time to re-acquaint myself with it. John and I did a night ride in the Dyfi Forest last night. John had a brand new Trek Fuel EX8 to demo so after a...
Here’s the other video from my Mountain Bike Ride at Llandegla on Sunday.
Anna and Morgan were away on the Isle of Man for the weekend and I had to collect them from Liverpool on Sunday afternoon which provided me with a perfect excuse for a mountain bike ride at Llandegla. I drove up in the morning on lovely clear roads in the sunshine. The drive itself was...
My big challenge this year is the Brontrager 24/12 in July, a 12 hour solo Mountain Bike Ride in Plymouth. I’m not aiming to be fast or do particularly well, but I would like to at least try to keep going for pretty much the whole 12 hours and at least do as many laps...
We couldn’t really have asked for better conditions, freezing cold, but no wind and glorious sunshine greeted us for the first ever Dyfi Winter Warm-up at the weekend. There were around 300 entrants starting from Corris Craft Centre. As well as myself this included the usual suspects that I ride with each week such as...
Wow, I’ve just realised I’m supposed to be riding in a Mountain Bike ‘Race’ at the weekend – That came around sooner than I was expecting. It’s the Dyfi Enduro Winter Warm Up which is a new event for 2011. It’s a “mini-enduro”, in essence, a lower mileage and a compact version of the proper...
