Went out with Wolfy (The Man).

Oh yes , what a ride ! Five of us crack trail enthusiasts went along to meet Wolfy and Ryan The Rooster in a car park at Tesco's in Ebbw Vale . I first met Wolfy in North Wales quite a while back where we swapped numbers as he came across as a decent guy . A few weeks ago , I gave him a call explaining that a few of us would be riding in South Wales and would he mind showing us around on the Saturday ? He phoned back the next day to say The Man from Delmonte say Yes ! Game on and we started out playing in a quarry which had some pretty hairy climbs and drop offs ......







Ryan and Lennie (the loons) both got up this after a go or two . Good effort .

A water ride .



There were loads of these single track trails with cheeky little , sometimes not so little step ups , excellent .


Ollie doing The Walk of Shame through his own bikes smoke whist Lennie rides up the steps for him .

I seem to remember Kona shouting at his bike , again , here .




I dont know where we had been but we were getting near Monmouth by this part of the ride (and loving every minute) .




I took a pic of this trail as it had some three foot step ups but the pic came out a blur in all of my exitement . Lennie cleaned it first go but got cocky and had another go and it didn't go as well as the first success . I just cocked it up but was happy that I rode up . Wolfy took those that did not want to see what the fuss was all about to the top , on the road .
More awesome trails .....

Boulder Alley was a laugh .


but not too good for Kona when Lennie thought he needed cooling down with a mud pack that consisted of straw and stinking cow dung , nice .


That was Len's special way of showing you that he likes you Jon . Smelling good mate !

Ryan helps The Fat Controller pick up Thomas the Tank Engine .



That was the hottest that I have ever seen a 2T without pinching up .


and that's the end of the Wolfy ride . We covered about 120 miles and rode what seemed like one hundred trails . It has to be said that this ride is up there as one of the top ones . Once again , a big thanks to Wolfy for showing us around , and Ryan . It was great to see Tilts again on the trails . He and his 525 coped admirably . Good effort goes out to Jon (Kona 1) as he is fairly new to this . Ollie , you have no excuses mate as you have been doing this for a while now . Lennie (Three Cans) , you are special and it's always a good laugh when you are allowed out . As for me .......Let's do it again soon . Friday and Sunday ride report to follow .

Great report whyzedd. Always thought we were blessed having these lanes on our door step. Good to hear others say how good they are.

Great report & pics whyzedd ,,glad you had a good time..I ride with WOLFY most weeks TOP man.

Cracking pic's & report steve, glad you enjoyed it
Was good to meet you again, also good to meet the rest of the guys was a giggle
Didn't think it was fair for kona & blade to have a little look at the steps at that point....but now they know, next time there's no way round

Did'nt get any pic's myself, maybe a vid to follow.....

I know crap innit, was the only one which would work on it.

Tried my best to get one of Dolly Partons tunes on there, it wouldn't have it tho!.....

Boulder alley was a laugh never heard it called that before looked a fantastic run lads, recognised devils staircase in there too, awesome lane near Monmouth....good run gents.....

A cracking report and credit due to wolfy for organising it for you guys and planning a route to suit your ride capabilities
