Grey, drizzly and clammy would be one way of describing the day, but the
participants more than made the day an absolute treat! I have always
thought mountain bikers as being nicer than the average people based on
my experience running the courses and today proved no exception. Toby
and Chris turned out to be superb company and very quick learners. We
were speeding along ticking one thing off after the next, until Toby got
his first puncture. Thankfully the rain had eased off and it was nice
having a leisurely chat while sorting the wheel out. It was only 10
minutes until his next puncture and we starting to think it was a bit
funny! Add to that one more puncture from Toby and two for me and we had
used up all the available inner tubes! Thankfully by this time we had
accomplished a lot. By the end both Toby and Chris had evolved from
being good bikers to being excellent bikers and not just being
passengers on their bikes, but using the bike, pumping the trails and
jumping off things to make riding more exciting and engaging! To top the good finish off even the sun came out and it started to feel like a proper summers day!
