Aww man I would have come up if I'd known you were going
Was Terrys Belly really that lame Juggy?!?
Terry's belly was hella lame in my opinion. The worst track at bike park wales by far. You have to pedal a boring skinny track for a good 5 minutes just to get to it, then you ride a little bit of some boring open skinny track for about 5 more minutes to ride uphill up a fire road then it finally gets descent when you get into the woods, but its just so boring! Probably 4 or 5 kool switch backs but the rest is a snorfest. Worst of all it kicks you out right at the bottom near where you drive your car to the car park so you have to ride up some steep road for 5 minutes or so just to get to the uplift again!
I love the blue's at bike park wales, probably my favorite part of it to be fair, love melted welly, blue belle, sixtapod and especially willy waver as there all insanely fast. This terrys belly just didnt seem flowy to me at all.
Had an awesome day there in all but the uplift service was terrible. I don't know whats going on. I'm not sure if its drivers taking the mick, too many vans on the track or poor timing but I only managed 5 uplifts in the morning where as last year I did 7 or 8! The ques for the uplift were nonstop as it took so long for a van to arrive, I had to wait for the 3rd van to come down in one instance which has never happened to me before. The ticket price has gone up but the service down
I think I'll be hitting forest of dean more in the future as you can do 8-10 uplifts in the morning and another 6-8 in the afternoon if you don't fanny about between sections.
I do need to go with more enthusiastic people though. Me 2 mates I went with today gave up in the morning after 3 runs as they were tired (there in their late 20's for christ sake). Then they managed all of 1 run in the afternoon. So I did 4 runs on my jack jones which doesnt bother me so much but its more fun with peeps.
Rant over.
