Day Off


Still fairly hurty today so I took a walk up Pleney to get some snaps and videos. Unfortunately there was hardly anyone on track though! Instead, I've taken a few photos of a couple of 'features' one might happen upon on the Pleney mainline. So here's a bit of a photo reel...

Some line choice in places, flat run or huck over the roots!

One of the many rough berms near the bottom

You'll find many of these. At the moment they're not too bad, and maintenance is being done to dig out the worst ones

This place usually looks more like a cattle market (but with bikers, not cows) as everyone takes a pause here at the junction between black and green. Both lines are equally fun!

No braking bumps here!

Although labelled as green, this section can take some skills. Line choice and roots, with a huck over the roots at the end if you're feeling up to it.

Diving into the last section through the trees. After the little drainage ditch there's a big G-out which can boot you a long way. Alternatively there is a tight hip on the right.

A few roots and some flow through these corners, before the last section then out into the open!

These corners are where I binned it. Stupid!

I questioned whether this was a good idea for 2 and a bit Euros. But it turned out they were bloody tasty!
