Took my GT up the Taff Trail last week for a blast, took a coule of pics so thought I would share them with you.

Weather was great, trails were dry & smooth....great.....overtook a group of 30 teenagers on those moutain bike thingy's, whilst popin a wheelie & their adult team leader called me a radical BMX Bandit....Ha Ha !....I honestly was in tears with laughter...lol....he couldnt believe I was 37 & the bile was 23 !...lol

Had a great day, great scenery, great weather, really enjoyed it.

anyway, heres some pics I took when I stopped for a smoke

hope you like

At least you got the guts to do it mate.

I've just ridden mine locally around the estate and i don't half get weird looks, i feel really silly riding it now.

Don't show those cranks to Gashead mate.

I think i'll take one of mine for another spin tomorrow, you've given me the confidence now to bomb about on it, shame i need stabilisers these days.

the spot you took those pics is where me, evo, veysey etc used to ride some very odd jumps. don't know if they are still there as we started riding the various sk8parks which were popping up around cardiff instead. havn't been down that way for 12 years now.
when we get some good weather and i know a few of us are out riding i'll let you know. pm me a mobile or phone no.

series.1.rs.turbo · « **Reply #18 on:** May 30, 2008, 09:25 PM »

Denny Dude....whaaaattttss uuuuppppp?

Yeah, the jumps are still there mate, they are the ones I thought I was Greg Hill on.......lol...been visiting old spots mate

PM on its way mate, but no showing off, I will just try to pretend I can still jam & hurt myself !.....

Went to a ramp comp that Denny was at taking pics @ the weekend, took this on the way home

Thought it deserved a clean today, been out the attic since January, been up there for 20 odd years....lol

Got stuck in there, soaked the chain etc...got bored & didnt do the wheels, so a job for another day...lol

Looks loads better in the flesh, pics are from my phone so not the best.....
