Not all rides go exactly to plan! 🚴‍♂️😅
Today’s Afan Forest Riders loop around Penhydd had a bit of a chaotic start. Between a local event closing a road an hour earlier than advertised, a few missed details on the location, and some classic timing mix-ups, we had riders scattered everywhere. But despite the rocky start, it all worked out in the end.
Most importantly we all made it back for coffee and cake together 🍰🧁☕️

Today’s plan was to stick to the lower-level trails and avoid the wind… but when the sun’s shining and the trails are calling, plans have a habit of going out the window! 😂🤘

Luckily for us, the wind was blowing on the other side of the hill so we got to enjoy Whites Level without too much of a battle with the elements!

Today’s social ride certainly had a few surprises! 😂

First, Vicky appeared out of nowhere at the bottom of Tramway… then Sheree decided a puncture was the perfect way to spice things up! 💨 She grabbed all the electric pumps and made a dash taking the quickest route back towards the car park.

After numerous stops to pump her tyre up all the batteries were flat. Then two kind gentlemen came to the rescue and attempted to help change the tube, but unfortunately, it wasn’t to be! By this point, the rest of us had finished the descents and eventually caught up with Sheree and her two new helpers. With the ride nearly over, we decided the simplest solution was to ride it back to the car park with the tyre completely flat! 🤣

Another ride full of laughs, unexpected adventures and a few mechanical dramas — just another day out with Afan Forest Riders! 🚵‍♀️

We switched things up a little today and encouraged the girls to take on the top half of the Whites Level singletrack climb… and honestly, they absolutely smashed it! 🙌💪
Apart from the odd little wobble 😜, everyone kept pushing, climbing and conquering.
And then came the descent…
I’m not quite sure what happened to Gen Pearce but somewhere up there she found turbo mode and absolutely flew down.
And for your first attempt at Darkside the final Whites descent, you did SO good, girl! 👏🔥
Talking of speed Sheree Breckon you polished that sausage bap off in record time..
Another brilliant ride, plenty of laughs, a few wobbles, and loads of progress...
