Marin trail... (with photos and new link for video)


Sometimes events conspire to give you a great experience. Today was one of those days. My finger is much better, though definitly not great- so mountain biking was high on my agenda rather than climbing. The weather was better than expecteded, and Lee was off to do some obscenely hard climbs at the biggest cliff in the area. mmmm, not for me; so I called my dad, and managed to convince him to come on a 17 mile mtb trail with me (the Marin trail). Given that my dad has a dodgy ticker and has hardly touched his bike in 2 years, he was totally game, and did a stirling effort, powering around the trail in great form. He's not had as much fun in years (biking at least ;¬) and I'm certain that he'll be keen to go again. We enjoyed perfect weather, and had a great ride. Next trail; Penmachno......
