go and play when you think you can't

There's a lot to do. Last Saturday was one of those days, but the spirit of play was strong enough to stop four of us getting on with small stuff, get out of bed at 5.30 on a weekend and go riding. The forest at Brechfa was magical and the Raven black run challenging in the right places. A wipe out and shoulder hurt slowed me down enough to notive the view in places that would have been blurred before. The downhills were still great.
