This last weekend was the first ‘dig day’ of the Black Canon Collective, which is a new club I’m helping with that was started to make the old unofficial Longleat trails official. Its been a fair while since Longleat shut the place down, for totally understandable reasons, and its been a fair amount of work for the club to get things organised and in place so that club members can once again go ride. This weekend though made it all start to feel worth it. Saturday saw the dodgy old building fenced in and the best track on the area not being felled, B.B.M.S., resurrected. A few of us went back Sunday but we slacked off the building and rode 🙂 I’ve forgotten what riding tight rooty tracks is like and boy did I suck! It was a really good laugh though and with everyone giving each other encouragement and line/riding advice the achy legs from post drivering on Saturday were soon forgotten. I may have to start riding flats though….
