It was the Aberdovey Windsurf Demo weekend and typically there was no wind at all forecast. I did show willing and drive around to Aberdovey on Saturday morning and had a little look at the kit. Not much was happening but seeing as there was no wind at all that wasn&#8217;t surprising.<\/p>\n<p>I did meet some people we windsurfed with in Dahab though which was good, but by around 11.30 we decided it was time to head off for some mountain biking. Steve, AndyW and I headed off to do the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forces-of-nature.co.uk\/dbdriven\/diary\/diary.php?action=viewentrydetails&#038;diaryid=7364&#038;diaryuser=justal\">Climachx Trail<\/a> and we passed a couple of the kitesurfers (Graham and Jon) on the trail. After gettgin nice and muddy we then headed off to the beach at Ynyslas for a quick surf which was really nice after a hot sweaty bike ride.<\/p>\n<p>Steve stayed over on Saturday night so we had a nice curry for dinner from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/2007\/eating-out-or-in-in-borth-and-aber\/\">Borth Balti<\/a> and slobbed out in front of a fire.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday was just as grey and windless as Saturday we headed off to Nant-yr-Arian for another bike ride before too many people got there. Unusually we went from the visitor centre so that Anna and Morgan could site in the cafe, play in the playground and walk around the lake whilst we were out. We did the Pendam trail in around 45 minutes and as we arrived back in the car park AndyW arrived. Steve went around again with Andy whilst I showered and had a hot chocolate in the cafe with Anna, Morgan and Jules&#8230;. A good little cycle and the whole family was happy too.<\/p>\n<p>We then said our goodbyes and Anna, Morgan and I headed off to MFI to spend lots of money on some new bedroom furniture. McDonalds for lunch (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/2007\/burger-pleasedont-forget-the-burger\/\">see Anna&#8217;s Chicken Supreme incident<\/a>), and then back home where I played around with my new lights that I&#8217;ve bought for night time rides in the woods!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anther busy weekend has been and gone.
