Full day of uplift at Antur Stiniog yesterday was glorious despite the worst weather I've ever ridden a bike in, proper torrential sideways rain and bitter, howling wind... I quickly discovered my Raceface windproof jacket is definitely not waterproof and not so windproof either by Welsh standards.
Got fourteen runs in though and rode all of the trails including all of the blacks and the only feature I chickened out of was the very big steep drop at the bottom of Y Du - The Black which I'm feeling rather chuffed with as they have some very good trails there!
I need to do a better job of bleeding my brakes though, length of trails combined with my hands being shot from intensive tiling/ grouting/ DIY of late and brakes performing slightly below par made for some very challenging braking in the later stages of each trail...
