ABOVE: Vid from yesterday of my progress through the main line...and my grin at the end ha ha!

After weeks of travelling and bad weather, I finally got to hit the trails again this weekend.

Yesterday was the most fun day of riding since the french trip. I headed to the track for a few gates, the sun was out so this was the first big sunday turnout of the year. It was good to see some of the local guys who have not been riding long making huge progress since last time I saw them, there is some real potential there, watch out for the new generation of Norwich Flyers tearing up the nationals in the next few years! As long as they don't get bored and sell there bikes for escorts with halfords spoilers that is.

The Hardcore Hobbies crew made the trip over from Bury, it's always a good day when they come over. After sessioning the track in the wind, we all headed to the trails. We rode the smaller tech line for a while and the HH crew decided we needed maps, or sign posts... or colour co-ordinated lines for non-locals to find their way through! Jay worked it out after pacing out the first couple of jumps and after that was looking rad, should have had that step up though! It was yours Millsy! You better come back next weekend!

When we were warmed up a bit we moved on to the mains. They haven't been running very long as they've been changed so many times. In no time Scoob was showing us the way through, smoothing right through the line with ease. I had only jumped the 3rd set the previous day, but I was really getting the hang of these now and before I had too much time to think about it I jumed through to the end of the line. I think it was the confidence I gained riding those big track jumps in France! It was so much fun, I couldn't stop smiling... roll on next weekend!
