first ride pics of the year

Well got up this morning to find it had snowed during the night, not a lot but just enough to keep things interesting in places,

met up in with a couple of new riders wolfy and his mate.

Quite a large group to start off with but no problem and everything went well through the first part of the day.



first lane leaving ebbw vale











from here we headed to bit of a hill climb witch always promises a few tumbles and with a dusting of snow it was bound to be better.






















wolfy almost made it to the top but then decided to roll down and take his mate out on the way



the only bike reach the top.....







from here we headed for bit of a bog with Scott finding the wrong place to try and cross and almost going over the bars













few more random shots along the way.
























































starting to drop down a bit now less snow about to.











































































brothers separated at birth?







Godzuki







spot Pembroke 3/4 water proof trousers












































next Godzuki needed feed so time for a bit of food before wolfy took over the lead so show us around a few other lanes

























After food Geriant and wolfy mate (didn't catch your name) headed off home.



some nice lanes next few steps and plenty of rocks hidden by large amount of leaves!










think it was around this time we met up with a few guys from the pontypool area.













the day ended here for pembroke after his chain snapping and leaving his front sproket looking like your 90 old old grans gums

























camera died around this time but graham has a few more photos on the way.

last couple of lanes were done just as it was getting dark with the last done in the dark.

Interesting phone call to graham from Wayne where are you?
