So the story goes that a couple of weeks ago while Dave & Jean were out for a ride and crossing over one of the local family jewels ..(you know what I'm on about don't you ..a section of singletrack trail so pristine and good that you don't want to share it with anyone else but the handful of people who know about it in your group ..)..they noticed that it had been trampled underfoot (mentally playing Led Zeppelin track now ) by some bovine beasts.
Dave told Graham about this with the upshot being that the pair of them spent 5 hours doing some unofficial trail maintenance last week so that it could be restored to its former glory .
They did a great job ..but said that it needed tracks on it to bed the soft bits back in ...so that's what we did today ..and it was fab.
No high mileage just a lot of fun & an opportunity to explore & find other sections of trail in the woods .
We now have extended what we know by roughly another mile and it's cracking..punishing though as the whole section is either short sharp ups or downs ..so we have 3 miles in total and as this normally gets ridden in both directions as part of a bigger loop usually as a night ride..it's quite significant ..
Where is it ?
You would have to pull all my nails & teeth out under torture and I still wouldn't give it up ..but if you ever want to ride it ..well that's different ..but you would have to sign a legally binding agreement not to disclose its location first ..lol.
This is as much as I will show..
