My brother has a very excitable spaniel puppy. When you knock on the door her paws wheel-spin on the wooden floor as she hurtles towards the door. If the door is closed, she tries to dig her way through to say hello.
Llandegla was Mark’s first ride after injury. Mark was that spaniel. He could barely keep still as we drank our coffees and eyed up the cakes before setting off!
After far too many seconds hanging around, we set off onto the forest trails. Mark joined Curtis and Andrew on the intermediate Red Circuit, whilst I took the others around the moderate Blue Circuit.
Halfway round the Blue, Nicola’s derailleur sheared off, so we had to convert it into a fast pedalling single speed, which I rode, swapping with Nicola for entertainment value. I found that I could scoot along faster with one foot kicking off from the floor which was great on the flats, but not so great on the up-hills!
Lyn fell in love with her demo bike, a full suspension Trek Evo something or other, and she made it back to the café first, closely followed by Jo-Anne and Nicola who in the blink of an eye had ordered lemon drizzle cake. Mark, Curtis and Andrew soon returned, grinning. After a brief pit-stop, they were all back out for another circuit, with mark raring to go, as was Lyn, making the most of her favourite bike yet.
