The Llangollen trial is also on the same weekend as the Llanfest bike show, and one of the sections was to be in the arena of the show itself. There are 30 sections in total, but joined by some of the best green lanes the area has to offer, and was one of my favourite events of last year. This year didn't disappoint.
Section 1, which I got through clean.
Not sure what number this is, but I do know that it was a lot steeper than it looks. I ended up with a 3 after I got off line immediately after the photo!
And this one was a 5. My front wheel should have been a foot further right (as I am on the bike) to make the left turn up the bank. It wasn't, and I didn't.
This was the last section of the day, launching the bike out of the stream with too much throttle, I very nearly overcooked it!
A great days riding. The new forks were ready to go in, and I had picked up a few ideas from various people at the trial for little tweaks to improve the bike still further.
