We rode to the Nant-y-Arian Red Kite Centre near Aberystwyth on a wet Saturday morning in Wales, to enjoy my birthday pressie, which was a treat from Nick in the form of a days 'Trail Biking'.

I cant bloody walk today, I hurt in places I didnt know existed, but I had the best time ever, I could easily ditch the road biking, dodging speed cameras and dealing with dickheads in cars for the peace, tranquility and fun of riding though the countryside!!!
