Dense undergrowth!

Do you have to form the track yourself or do the paths already exist?

What is the other bike?

other bike is AR

I made some paths my self - but those are what walkers have made.. unfortunatley he camera cocked up on the best bits - a great lane with berms - and a mountain switchback trail'

thats not really dense undergrowth tho actually!

dense trail an home made track starts at 1 min in

actually have extended this a load more recently - an I think I will have another 2km in the next couple of weeks I hope! found an old trail thats over grown - jus needs an afternoon of hackin!

I see what you mean about narrow overgrown paths! I wonder whether you ever run into any walkers?

I reckon your first, second gear and clutch must take a hammering but engine sounds sweeter than mine.

What sort of temperatures are you riding in also is the humidity high?

not too bad now - winter is 10 or 11 degrees

summer ( may onwards ) lookin at 88 % humidity temperate ranges from 30 - 35 degrees.. an heavy showers

not so many walkers in summer... havent really bumped into any on the trail - but it is possible - I see they have been there - by the dropped bottles tissues food wrappers - asians in general arent very particular about where they put rubbish...

more likely to bump into wildlife - mostly wild boar an great big friggin spiders - the occasional monkey / deer hopefully no snakes tho...

and yeh its all about 1st an 2nd gear... very rare to get into 3rd..

wales looks nice! i saw a couple of youtubes - got any good ones to watch? wouldnt mind plannin my holiday :D

Yes there are some great trails in Wales :D

Check the ride reports on this site. (the site shut down in March 2013 but has recently brought back again)
