Tandem after climbing Hind Street - all smiles! |

Note
that light levels were so poor at the start this year that sharp photos
were rare, so lot's of photos didn't make it to the website!
We hope you enjoy the ones that did!

 Horny for hills! |

Street was just so. On the bend a couple of guys fought to free a jammed
chain. I'd just met Andy Endicott returning to Bovey. Simon had crashed
on the descent to Clifford. He wasn't the only one. I met Nicole on
the descent who was coordinating the "rescue". He was OK but bruised
and shaken. I continued down the hill grateful for my Magura hydraulics.
There we potholes the size of Smart Cars! Another guy had come off on the next corner. Somehow I managed to stop and check - he was fine but the front wheel was dead. Two others passed me as I set out again. Near the bottom my back wheel started sliding so I let go and decided that prayer rather than rubber would see me OK. Catching the other two, one had also slid off on the camber - altogether I think about eight came to grief on this descent. . |
