Hamsterley Ride with Josh-E-Dawg

Had an ace afternoon XC up at Hamsterley, took my dog Josh. He loved it and is now so tired he is passed out on the floor after having double helpings of dinner!

Was really wet and muddy up the forest but still fun as usual, nice cuppa and New Years' Greetings offa Joe n' Craig and the first official outing for my Loeka jersey and shorts and to top it off the infamous purple, Roots Cycles Beanie!



The shorts are fab, 2012 cascade DH shorts that are waterproof so for the first time ever my undies actually stayed pretty dry and the whole ride was enjoyable with no soggy bottoms :-)

A few folk noticed me modelling (lol) and got loadsa positive comments and thankfully nobody saw my quality 'over the bars' faceplant at the top of Nitrous where my 'blessed' dog cut me up and I flew off the top of the first berm.... ouchie.  Luckily the Loeka gear stayed in tact and withstood a high speed gravel slide in the mud. BONUS!!!!

PS. Of course, I fell off on purpose to test the durability....that's right (still laughing though)!
