Epix - Epic rides and Images

Seems like the bloggers are slowly getting back in action, with Bellie and Matt just a few to be posting again. Not that we can talk, sporadic is the best description I can give, but hey we're trying! :)

So Jack reckons that he had fun on the rail trail?



Judging by this photo early on, things could only have improved!! :p



Last minute directions for Big George, who rocked up with us giving him grief, only to get out of his car, throw his helmet on and be ready to ride. Not amusing on its own, but when JD had been there for more than 20 mintues, and still wasn't ready, we did get a laugh out of it! The boys then proceeded to have a 10 minute discussion over which 'matchmaker' bracket would fit what... riiiight...



Moments after I took this, a F150 came roaring around the corner, and I did a little bit of scaredness in my pants...! The truck even clipped the trees on the inside of the corner as he reefed the truck back in line.


So we got the band back together and hit up some trail that none of us had ever heard about. 'New' might be the best description, but it was far from fresh cut. Beautifully run in, amazing flow and some great lines, although I'm tempted to offer it the name DuPont, from the makers of Teflon as it was damn slippery under the trees...

For reasons that most could guess, I'm not going to impart where these trails are, in fact I probably couldn't find them again if I wanted, but HOLY HELL they are good. As well as being fun, they are actually extremely photogenic so I'll be heading back some day with a camera and some sunshine, and perhaps with riders that aren't off to do massive stage races the next week, or race 6 hours the next day or basically have any interest in racing because they go too damn fast for this little adventurer :)





Seriously tho, amazing trail and cheers to the guys that both built it, and the riders who came along for the quick spin!
