As I crossed over the road back into Fetcham I felt like I was stepping out of the wardrobe from Narnia back to the concrete of daily life.

Another Home Guard ride set off today with most regular Moles recovering from their Wales trip or otherwise committed. It was a day of two pairs for Andy and Andy (Turnerguy and 661), Paul and Paul (M and 901) and hill and hill (Holmbury and Leith).

We have history, the Brechfa trails and me. It started well in 2008, Brechfa was Day 3 of an MTB Tour of Wales for my daughter (then 16) and myself.

Back then, we tackled the Red ‘Gorlech’ trail, starting ‘half way round’ at the North end of the trail at a place called Sifigwm. We completed it without drama, and I planned to return to tackle the Black ‘Raven’ trail that was still being built in 2008.

Having survived our first day in Wales at the Cwmcarn DH course, our second day saw us travelling north and west to ride some real trails for a change. The Doethie Valley and Llyn Brianne reservoir provides plenty of riding which hasn't seen the hand of man for a long time.

In fact, it hasn't seen much of anything for a long time!

There are times I'm reminded of just how niche the sport of mountain biking is. Certainly, spending the weekend with a group of serial flatulants, getting stinky, muddy and scared half to death is not an activity that would appeal to most people. For my own part, I came away from this trip with mixed emotions.
