On Sunday afternoon I was a bit of a sl*g and went riding with some different people. We went to the Quantocks and did a bit of down hilling.

5 of us went (George my brother’s mate, his missus, daughter and daughter’s boyfriend and me) to a place called Triscombe. There were loads of downhill runs and best of all George has a van and when his daughter had had enough she ran a bit of an uplift service.

Anyway the down hill seemed much more demanding, both technical and steeper than at Churchill, although being wet made it more so.

Near the bottom of the first run I took a bit of a tumble, hitting my thigh, chest, arm and wrist. Most of the pain went within 5 minutes or so, but my wrist is still hurting and is a bit swollen, my chest is killing me and my thigh is now feeling like a bit of a dead leg Still I didn’t let this stop me on the day (just slowed down a bit as holding on was a bit painful).

I think it would be well worth the trip, as there are loads of jumps, all with ride arounds, some pretty steep stuff for Lee and a nice little rock garden section (again with ride arounds).

It is all ridable on the trail bikes, although the DH rigs would be better and the ups are mainly fire road, so again can be ridden on a trail bike.

The only problem is I’m not sure how we got there, I will find this out, because as I said it would be well worth it, and apparently it is a good spot to go for an xc ride as well.

As the trails are becoming more and more muddy I think it is about time to look further a feild at where we can ride. Not just on and evening but also on a Sunday.

So I would like 2 new trails from each of you, 1 that we can ride on an evening and the second should be something we can ride on a sunday.

So go forth and find new trails !!!!
