This was to be our first time riding at Llangollen outside of racing despite being visit number four. The weather was pretty disgusting but better than the forecast had predicted, it was going to be an interesting day! Martin has a real enthusiasm and the work he puts in is clear to see, the uplift trailer is excellent and 20 riders at a time wasn't cramped or damaging on the bikes, just the way it uplifts should be. Two locals were there as marshals and we were informed about everything we needed to know before our first runs. A third track is up and running now, ideal for a warm up run or for anyone a little bit daunted by the steeper more direct track, a good move I feel.
Full on wet conditions were new to us at the venue and we were pleasantly surprised by how well it still rode, there was a surprising amount of grip in many places making it possible to attack the track and not have to tip-toe anywhere although I think we all hit the deck at some point! The verdict? Well worth going and some nice touches too, it's not everywhere you get given lunch and I think Martin came and spoke to everyone before they left, even offering us food for the journey home!
