Neil_Bolton's Trek Y Bike

[Rico]

Weight saving measures include no front tyre

Looks like he's about to lose the rear tire as well. With the amount of air in it maybe he should be thinking tubeless..

I think my 'interesting' line was peraps a little too much for the poor thing: I had a simultaneous front/rear blow out and had an interesting 'moment' trying to hang onto the thing on what is one of the fastet parts of the trail

Note to self: When considering riding hell for leather down a rocky descent, don't use skinny tyres and tubes...

Ouch! How did that happen?

Saw you carrying that out of the end of the track as we were driving out of the car park.

Some of the rocky sections really test the wheels and tyres

Good ride, with a few comedy incidents such as Neil's thrown in to spice it up!

You got any more snaps, Andy?

There's nothing at CwmCarn that a beginner couldn't ride. Maybe the corkscrew through the small tunnel would be a bit daunting, but mainly its just a long old uphill slog, followed by flowing downhills. Heaven

Its great, although i only did the blue there because it was my first trail ride and i did it on a halfords special.

Is that Neil's stash of "Khat" to make those rocky downhills less painful?..
