This year has been a mental year for me riding on my Orange 5.
After having trick pink Hope brakes fitted in the Christmas break, New Year's Eve 2007 was spent bedding them in at Thetford... A place we all know and love for all year round riding, so all good for the late December jaunt.

Wild Weekend In Wales - Day 3 - Penhydd Trail
Once again with breakfast unhurried and chance to chat with the other riders who were staying at the B&B, our enthusiasm was not as in plenty as before due to our aching limbs and the heavy frost that covered everything in its icy reach.
Sparky was in much pain from his fall and had decided to call it a day... he needed to return home.
With our gear sorted and cars defrosted we made our way along the white roads to Afan Forest Park Visitors Centre, where we had a walk to stretch our legs and a hot drink to thermally insulated our insides before we began our ascent.

Wild Weekend in Wales - Day 1 - Whites Level
I just love the alarm going off at 4.15am... even more so when I know I'm off on an epic to Wales to ride the mountains of life.
I was even more looking forward to this jaunt, as Tomks and I were to be meeting up with Appleyam. He had also decided to brave the unpredictable Welsh weather. We knew Sparky would be making an appearance too as he had already arranged to meet some of riding buddies there.
