Thinking of paying Llangdegla a visit on Saturday, any interest? Fatdoc, bubba, Norton et al? The new "trail centre speed machine ^tm" needs a play out. Weather forecast good

[Bubba]

Llandegla at the weekend is a bit of a nightmare - it gets horribly crowded.

I'm still recovering from a week-long chest cold anyway so would be wheezing along like somebody who's on 50 a day

Only ever seems to be crowded in the car park, and the cafe!

[Bubba]

Might be off to Penmachno in April; if work allows then a 2nd day at Coed or t'other way round.

[Norton Sharley]

Can't make it this weekend unfortunately as I have some family shit to do.  On the day of good weather too 

[burned]

I am up for a ride tomorrow, what time you guys there?

[ianv]

If the trip to Penmachno doesn't clash with anything, I would be up for it. keep me posted.

marin trail in llanrwst is highly recomended doesnt seem too get quiet as busy as llandegla either and its a better trail

I always think this has too much fire road. Penmachno is much better in my opinion.

[Yossarian]

Adam - check the Pass Storming thread... If you are up for Snowdon, etc then let me know.

I go to Spain that day or i would be very keen. We are going to do it sometime in the next few weeks. Got the gopro so will upload footage when done.

[Yossarian]

In that case just keep me posted... Saturdays probably better for me.

was at llandegla today. Was listlessly eating a butty at the furthest point of the trail, after my second puncture in 50yards, contemplating the push back when someone (about the 30th past) finally stops to offer me a tube. While we were chatting a guy stuffs it over the handlebars, doesnt get his clips out and ends up in a heap with legs twitching. Really shady. Thankfully, he came round, rinsed the blood from his face and was up to the push back to the car park. We were about to 999 and were very worried. Someone later saw him back at the carpark - fine but with a horribly gashed lip.
Now, point of all this us that as the guys legs were still pretty much on the trail we were waving riders down and there was a bit of a queue. Rhis guy comes steaming at us shouting 'get out of the way' and goes straight through. Now once the injured guy was up and pushing i saw this arrogant fvck coming back along one of the narrow switch back so nipped across the corner to explain. All i get was 'dont blick the fucking trail' shouted ovee his shoulder.
Wish id actually got in his way and stopped him.
Anyway, a tall, blonde, curly haired, scousish rider better be careful. Reckon he's got some karma coming.

incidentally, llandegla feels very bitty at the moment with all the works going on. Lots of new skills park bits that i didnt really explore. On the flipside, theyve done a lot of clearing and the view towards snowdonia was astonishing on a day like today.

was there yesterday, small lid and massive goggles a bit like biggles. Climax trails at machynllath is worth a look, a bit of fire road lovely flowy singletrack and a final descent
thats quite downhilly.
