Great spin this mornign guys! heat was energy sapping but great to see a few new faces on trips to new places :-)
Think even Shane G like the big decent! :-)

got a huge load of wood moved into the forest on Fri eve - big thanks to all who sweated and grunted up that ultra-steep hill.
thanks especially to Steve and Conor for sourcing all that wood for us
I did some repair and addition on Sat morning, nice new drop-off has been added though not properly finished yet - needs the run-in cleared and levelled at the start of the ramp
I'll likely be up there again Mon eve to finish it and plan the continuation of the XC trail
Again, any help appreciated, even if you only get out to help for 30 mins it'd be appreciated, there's still wood to be carried-up from the end of the forest, and also logs in the section across the fireroad (upper section) would be very useful also.

Hi guys, just wanted to say that I really enjoyed the spin on Sunday. It was my first time over those hills in 18 (yes, 18) years! Brought back a lot of memories!
To have been out with such a nice group of people (and on such a fantastic day!) really made it a great day. Thanks to Paddy for the help getting home :)
Hope to see yee again soon...if not next weekend, then in July when I'm back from hols, and hopefully a bit fitter too :)

hey andy,
always good to have a returning ex MAD person from the old days. A couple more spins and you'll be flying. If only the weather was always like that!
