A slightly different video full of honesty, challenge, frustration, mud, water, erosion, crap, stream beds, rocks the size of houses..........get the picture, lol? Yep I am being honest because this happens to all off- road riders, every now and then. Does it really change our lives???? Well once we've hosed our bikes off, wrecked the washing machine with our crappy kit, it all becomes a great story to tell in the pub (or on here)!
So here's the adventure. It's about a 'young woman' whose head fell off, having left Machynlleth, in search of gravel and single track frolics. Yes she saw incredible scenery, rattled along gravel and grassy tracks, but what she didn't prepare for, was the huge dollop of type 2 fun* Must try harder next time i.e tweak the route!
*type 2 fun = gets better with time.
On a more serious note - the area south of Machynlleth is stunning with masses of opportunity. However a little bit of research and local knowledge goes a long way! When exploring a new area there is always the risk of it going pear shaped. That's part of the fun!? Locked gates on some routes does seem to be a recurring problem......
