a scruffy ruffian
I can’t ride proper jumps at the moment as I have plates in my arm and I am scared of snapping it again, so I made this:
There are more picutres here.
It’s quite good training, and the earth is really bad, which means it is ridable even when it’s wet!
I put up some pictures I took last year of Pete and Pete riding the trails: here

I always want to stay at the trails for as long as possible. I think I am probably addicted to them. However much I ride it never seems to be enough. I always want one more run. Does anyone else get this? I also have the same problem with other stuff. I go to bed too late every night because I want to do too much stuff. Playing the guitar or reading or anything really. I can’t just put things down.
Also, you know how tennis players have rituals when they play – how they arrange their towels, or how they tie their laces. Does anyone have a ritual they do everytime they ride? Mine is probably wiping my hands on my trousers to dry them off.
June started very wet, but it ended well.
Nigel took a lot of pictures including the one above. Just need to make somewhere for them to go…
These are the pictures I have taken in June:
A week or so ago, before it rained, we got a quick ride.

The rest of the pictures are here.
First bluebells of the year:
Some people have spent this winter moving mud. It takes a long time to build jumps.
If you haven’t helped moving mud at some trails somewhere this winter, do you think that it is fair to expect other people to let you ride on their mud that they spent so long moving?
Don’t be surprised if you turn up at the trails for the first time this year in July to be told where the spades are. There’s still plenty of digging to be done in July.
See you at the woods tonight?
More digging today. Four people at the woods including new boy Jack. Pretty good to have so many people helping out for a change.
There is still a lot of stuff to be built, but hopefully a lot will get done tomorrow. Greg is always hungry:
The woods is a pretty fun place to be at the moment. If you’re not there you’re missing out. Spring is good times.
Who wants to go to Paris anyway.
The clocks changed. This is good news for the trails as nothing is ready for the summer. Seven people have helped dig this year in one way or another. One of them is Greg:
I went to Hills and Mountains last night. They are looking good for the jam on Sunday.
