Had a brilliant ride today mainly because the rain stayed away but it was a real technical challenge in places. First time on Super Nova and 50 Acre. Nova was great but very wet and some large lake-like puddles. I came off and jumped into a tree to avoid face-pls tiong into it on a section of dropoffs that I simply forgot about. Came away unscathed! Super Nova top section was nice and flowy but the lower section was not fun on 24" wheels.50 Acre Woods was really technical and rooty so was just harsh in the wet. Spent most of it groaning at the wheels slipping out. Fast dirt-jump tyres are not the best to use.I'm wet, muddy but happy.#BackOnTheBike #freelancer #mountainbikers #MountainBiking #MountainBiker #Trails #Bristol #50AcreWoods #AshtonCourt #NovaTrail #SuperNovaTrail #BristolMountainBikers

Yes, there's dirt on her face, a graze on her chin and a chip on the helmet and she got right back on and ride home!My legend of a wife @rufus2612 had her first crash today when she decided to take an unplanned nap in a ditch by the side of the path. She rolled perfectly in and prevented doing much damage bar some scrapes and bruises.Totally and madly proud of her.#MTB #mountainbikers #MountainBiking #MountainBiker #FirstCrash #FacePlant #LoveHer #Wifey #BeautifulButTough

Not the longest ride but definitely the most enjoyable.Getting to know the local trails and feeling stronger and fitter with each ride.Even got some air on the jumps if a little squiggly on a few of the landings. As I'm growing in confidence, also appreciating that my "dirt-street" tyres have very little grip at speed on some of these trails.Already dreaming of bike upgrades…. #Trails #AshtonCourt #NovaTrail #LeighWoods #YerTiz #MountainBiker #MTB #mountainbikers #MountainBiking
